Randeep Hooda seems to be specialising in biopics. So far, the actor has played the painter Raja Ravi Verma in Rang Rasiya, the serial killer Charles Sobraj in Main Aur Charles, Sarbjit Singh, the man who was imprisoned in a Pakistani jail for 22 years allegedly for spying, in the film Sarbjit and Jeet Johar, a ruthless gangster in Beeba Boys. Now, the latest real-life personality, whose shoes Randeep will be stepping into is Sultana Daku in a film by the same name. 

Based on a novel, The confessions of Sultana Daku, the actor will play a dacoit from the Bhantu clan who terrorised the United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand) in the 1920s. He named his horse Chetak, after Maharana Pratap’s horse and operated on a code of honour. When he was captured by the British, officer Freddie Young tried his hardest to have Sultana pardoned but to no avail. Sultana then asked Young to raise his son as a ‘sahib’ before he was sent to the gallows on July 7, 1924.
