Khali is in a semi-retirement mode it seems as his name is missing from the current WWE roster. He did make an appearance in one of the WWE events last month but it turned out to be a one-off appearance.

Kohli on the other hand is busy on the tour to Sri Lanka. He has had a great time captaining India in the ongoing Test series where India are leading 2-0 with just the one match to go.

Kohli in fact has become the first captain to win a series twice in Sri Lanka. The series win in the island nation overall became India’s eighth series win in a row. 

New Delhi: Skipper Virat Kohli and his boys who are presently in Sri Lanka for the ongoing series against the Islanders, recently met WWE Superstar The Great Khali. The cricketers including Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, uploaded their pictures with Khali on social media websites and invited hilarious comments and trolls including a stunner from Rohit Sharma.

The 'Men in Blue' thumped the struggling Sri Lankan team once again in the ongoing three-Test series, wrapping up the victory in the second Test at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) by an innings and 53 runs.

After kissing the glory on 'Friendship Day', the 28-year-old along with other teammates met 'The Great Khali', aka Dalip Singh Rana.

Rohit Sharma, who was included in the 15-man squad for Sri Lanka Test series, returned to Mumbai for a routine medical check up on August 3. Seeing the rest of his teammates click pictures with Khali, Rohit trolled all of them saying, "Well tried fellas, but the belt is here".

Rohit, as captain of Mumbai Indians, received a customary WWE Championship belt from Triple H, after his side won the Indian Premier League 2017 title.

The right-handed batsman, today, reminded his teammates that they may have met the professional wrestler but he is the one who has the WWE Championship belt.

India and Sri Lanka will now play the final Test beginning August 12 before starting off with the five-match ODI series and a lone T20.

And considering the quality, or the lack of it, of the Sri Lankan team, the visitors will look to complete a clean sweep in Pallekele (Kandy), where the third Test will be played.

Mumbai: Bollywood is fascinated by lives of successful sportspersons. In the recent past, we have seen filmmakers exploring the unexplored. From ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ to ‘Mary Kom’, ‘Azhar’ to ‘M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story’ and last but not the least ‘Dangal’, we have seen it all. And now, a film on the Great Khali is reportedly on the anvil.

According to a report in DNA, Sushant Singh Rajput has reportedly agreed to do the film.

“The biopic is on the life of wrestler Dalip Singh Rana, better known as Khali or The Great Khali in WWE circle. The studio has spoken to the Punjabi wrestler and he has given them the rights to make a film on his life. Sushant has been approached to play the titular role and he has in principle agreed to do the film,” DNA quoted an inside as saying.

However, one will wonder how SSR will fit the bill because Khali stand about 7’1” tall and weighs about 157 kilos!

“What worked in Sushant’s favour during Dhoni was that he looked, walked and talked like MSD. Here, Sushant has no similarities with Khali when it comes to his body prototype and his height. Unless there’s a lot of VFX involved, it’s difficult to pull off a film on Khali. No hero in Bollywood will look convincing as The Great Khali, unless there’s CGI,” DNA quoted a trade analyst as saying.

Interestingly, if Sushant has been finalised for the film, then it will be his third biopic. After Dhoni, we will see Sushant essaying Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar and a film on Khali will be his third in the genre.

Like the film on Dhoni, Khali’s biopic promises to narrate the unheard struggles of his life.

So are you looking forward to this ‘great’ film?

New Delhi: Kavita Devi has become the first ever Indian woman to be signed by the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). 

Jinder Mahal, the current WWE champion, confirmed the news in a special visit to New Delhi recently.

Sending a huge congratulations to @KavitaDeviWWE and also @WWE for making history today. Kavita is the first Indian woman to sign with WWE.

(With IANS Inputs)

New Delhi: A first in Rajasthan's history, Udaipur witnessed Encounter 18, a fight show organised on the lines of WWE, at the Maharana Pratap Games Village. 

Encounter 18 brand ambassador The Great Khali graced the occasion alongside several foreign wrestlers, who enthralled the crowd with lively fights. 

Thousands of fans thronged the event and reached well before time to reserve the best seats. With the fights taking place in front of their eyes, the fans enjoyed the myriad moves employed by the professional wrestlers. 

Though, the event was a farce, causing a lot of chaos and problems. The bouncers stationed to enhance security misbehaved with the excited fans, raising a furore.

Bollywood celebrities Urvashi Rautela, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan too graced the event with their presence.       
  

‘The Great Khali’ doesn't need any introduction. The popular Indian professional wrestler is now all set to show his power on the silver screens. And, it's not any Hollywood film, but a Telugu film in which the world-famous wrestler will be seen making his debut. 

WWE champ ‘The Great Khali’ is all set to make his Telugu debut with director Jayanth C Paranji’s upcoming venture ‘Narendra’. The seven-foot-tall wrestler is roped in for an important role in the movie.

The film is touted to be a sports drama where Nilesh Eti and Izabelle Leiti are playing the lead roles. The movie is set in the backdrop of India and Pakistan and the makers are planning to shoot it in the neighbouring country as well. The story revolves around the life of a champion boxer.

Interestingly, the first schedule of shooting has been wrapped. With ‘Narendra’ Bollywood music composer Ram Sampath is also debuting in Tollywood. Eshaan Entertainments banner is producing the movie.

Executive Producer of the film is Harish Koyalagundla, while the cinematographer is Viren Thambidorai. The editor is Marthand K. Venkatesh. Dialogues will be written by Harish Koyalagundla and fights will be designed by Venkat. 

Filmmaker Jayanth C Paranji has been in the industry since 1997 and has made many blockbuster hits. Preminchukundam Ra, Bavagaru Bagunnara, Ravoyi Chandamama, Sakhiya, Takkari Donga, Eeshwar and Shankar Dada MBBS are a few among the masterpieces he had made. 

Meanwhile, Khali has acted in Hollywood films and American television shows. He also appeared in popular reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ season 4.

Izabelle Leite began her career as a model and now, she has turned into an actress. She was recently roped in to play one of the leading ladies in Vijay Deverakonda’s next with Kranthi Madhav. She already has a lot of fans for her glamorous looks and with acting skills, she is going to make her fans go crazy about her.

The latest news is that Izabelle has officially been confirmed to play the female lead role in 'Narendra', an upcoming film which will be under the direction of Jayanth C Paranji.

She took to her official Twitter handle and wrote, “Since I’m back in India and had the opportunity to meet Jayanth Paranjee to discuss about his next movie, now I can announce that yes I am on board and pretty much excited to work with him. Its a great role and a challenge for me as an actress. #Narendra.”

Director Jayanth tweeted, “Re-setting the record straight!!!! @izabelleleite25 is part of my film #Narendra,”. 

Also, with this film, Indian World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestler The Great Khali is going to make his debut in Telugu film industry. Narendra is a sports drama and Nilesh Eti will be seen playing the male lead. The story revolves around a champion boxer and has wrapped the first schedule of shooting.

The regular shooting of the film will begin from March 10th in Hyderabad. Bollywood music composer Ram Sampath is also debuting in Tollywood with ‘Narendra.’ Eshaan Entertainments banner is producing the movie.

Dehra: Popular wrestling star The Great Khali alias Dilip Singh Rana came out in support of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) claiming it will check the "entry of infiltrators from abroad" further adding that there is already a lot of hunger and unemployment in our country.

Attending an annual function at Dhaliara Public School in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, the Indian wrestling star said that if more "intruders" come to India then crime will increase. Khali said that this law has been made for the minorities who are harassed in other countries. 

Live TV

Dilip Singh Rana alias Khali said that the whole world knows what is happening in countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh and so giving Indian citizenship to the persecuted minorities "is a very good thing". He also said that someone from Pakistan and Bangladesh should come and spread terror and produce 15 children, that is not good for India.

The 47-year-old star also spoke about the dangers of drug abuse and encouraged school children to take up sports instead. He said he will hold a show highlighting the troubles of drug abuse and that he has done shows in Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana. He urged the parents to encourage children towards any sport so that the child is away from drugs.

Kartik Aaryan’s songs have made the nation groove in his signature steps. This year, he made us understand the importance of social-distancing with his musical rap and monologue #CoronaStopKaroNa. But who knew that this rap would serve as workout inspiration for The Great Khali. 

World-famous wrestler Khali is known for his giant body and his muscles. The legendary wrestler has shared a video on his Tiktok page recently where he’s seen working out and doing some weight-lifting in his house. But what makes this video extraordinary is the music playing in the background – Kartik Aaryan’s internet-breaking Corona Stop Karo Na rap. 

The monologue which is written by the actor himself and pointed the dos’ and donts’ in the times of the pandemic, took the social media by storm. But who knew that the rap would be used for some serious workout session. The wrestler is not skipping his gym sessions and working out from home and the rap is apt for this one.

Well, what can we say, Kartik Aaryan’s songs, dance moves, monologues and raps… all have a similar effect on everyone, as it gets one hooked to it. The rap has become nation’s anthem to fight the pandemic practising social-distancing and looks like some of our models can use the rap to flex while they workout out Ghar Pe and do corona stop Karo Na!

Another move by Kartik Aaryan that has been trending on social media and become the talk of the town, is his new hit YouTube series Koki Poochega. The actor’s chat show where he gets in conversation with real-life heroes working for the nation and COVID-19 survivors is surely proving to be one of the most binge-worthy series during the lockdown. The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actor has also pledged Rs 1 crore to the PM Cares Relief Funds and furthered his efforts to stand with his country to battle these dark times.

New Delhi: Dalip Singh Rana, better known by his ring name 'The Great Khali', came out in support of the agitating farmers and joined the protests against the new agriculture laws at the Tikri border on Tuesday (December 1, 2020).  

In a video that the former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion shared on his official Instagram account, he said, "The farmers won't go back until unless their demands are met. They have come up with a ration that will last for six months."

Khali who reportedly joined the protests at the Tikri border captioned the video as 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' and also briefly explained the losses that a farmer would face due to the new agriculture laws.

He urged everyone to stand with the farmers so that the government has to agree to farmers' demands and also expressed, "The farmers of Haryana and Punjab are 'very tough'."

Khali is not the first famous face to come out in support of the farmers as several popular Punjabi actors, players, wrestlers and singers have also supported the farmers' protests.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Centre met leaders of the protesting farmer unions for talks to address their concerns on new agriculture laws. 

Over three-hour-long dialogue between a group of more than 32 farmer union leaders and the government remained inconclusive and the fourth round of talks has been scheduled for Thursday (December 3). 

Notably, the farmers' protest has entered into the seventh consecutive day on Wednesday.

The reason behind the widespread protests is these three new laws - The Farmers` Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.

Jammu and Kashmir's Arif Khan is likely to become India's new entry in the WWE roster. The 23-year-old has been training under former WWE star, The Great Khali, who refers Arif as "Badshah Khan". The 6-ft wrestler hails from a small village called Neel, situated in J&K's Ramban district. Renowned as Jammu's Khali, Arif is currently training in an academy in Jalandhar and is busy preparing for the upcoming WWE India trials, which will be held in Mumbai.    

The Great Khali was inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame Class of 2021 earlier this week. The 7ft wrestler, who dominated the four-cornered ring during his stint at WWE, was given the news of his induction by his brother, Ranjin Singh, during WWE's special edition of Now India. 

The Great Khali, however, couldn't make it to the event and WWE released a virtual message from the superstar, which was well embraced by his fans. Here is the video:

The Great Khali made his impact felt in the WWE roster right from the word go and during his illustrious career he also became the World Heavyweight champion. The Indian wrestler has defeated the likes of John Cena, Batista, Shawn Michaels, Kane. 

WWE superstars including Natalya, Rey Mysterio, Edge, Bobby Lashley among others congratulated The Great Khali for his achievement. WWE compiled the messages from all the superstars and released a video on YouTube.

Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre, former WWE Champion, also congratulated the new Hall of Famer and also commended about the rising number of Indian participants in the WWE roster. "The fact is he (The Great Khali) is getting in the Hall of Fame, and I am very happy for him. He is a great guy and such a hero to a lot of people out there. And to see now how much Indian representation we have on our roster, it is really really cool. We recently had the WWE Superstar Spectacle and a lot of our young Indian talent were on there; Jinder was featured on the show and to see everybody step up and put on such great performances and then to hear the feedback and the numbers and the number of people that watched the show was absolutely unbelievable," McIntyre told news18.com.  

WWE Hall of Famer Dalip Singh Rana, aka The Great Khali has created a sudden buzz on social media platforms. It is not because of the wrestler's antics on Instagram and Facebook or any of his latest interview, but due to the bizarre requests that fans are coming up with on the comment section of the WWE superstar's posts. 

Addressing the same in an interview with RJ Himanshu from Radio City, Khali said he's not amused with the comments as he expects funny requests like this are bound to come. 

Speaking further Khali also mentioned that most of the responses in his videos are supportive and congratulatory, while few use the platform to ridicule. 

Khali then shared a few tips on keeping one fit and said an individual should enjoy the workout session and not put extra stress on the body as it leads to injuries. 

He finally signed off with a song and was joined by the RJ. Here is the video:

Khali returned to India after retirement in November 2014 and has been training aspiring WWE superstars in his academy in the Punjab city of Jalandhar.  

WWE Hall of Famer The Great Khali in his latest video hit back at people who posts ridiculous requests on the former wrestler's social media posts. The former WWE Heavyweight Champion has lately been subjected to several body shaming jokes on social media.

He made me trust myself and I feel blessed to find a new teacher in life. Apart from wrestling, there is a lot more to learn from The Great Khali."

"The Great Khali is very much dedicated to India and its culture. I am getting to learn so many things with him," she adds.

Arshi will be celebrating Teacher's Day with The Great Khali.

The Great Khali made his wrestling debut in 2000 and his stint as a famous WWE star made him a household name. The 7 ft 3 inches tall wrestler became the first Indian professional wrestler to be signed to a contract by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) back in 2006. The Great Khali was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the 2021 class. In an exclusive interview with Zee News Digital, The Great Khali opened up on his love for food, balanced diet and association with KFC.

Q. So, what goes behind the success of The Great Khali, explain? 

A. I never thought that I would become this huge global icon, The Great Khali, or do brand endorsements, work in Hollywood and Bollywood. I wasn’t aiming for this. My area of concern is as simple as any regular Indians’. We celebrate so many festivals and we end up overeating, so I would put in simple restrictions for myself – like not taking up festivals as an excuse to break my diet or consume too much sweet. But one thing that was consistent was that I never gave up, I kept trying and trying and doing my best.

It began with bodybuilding and then moved to wrestle. So, my funda is that if you start something, you must continue doing it with the same amount of energy and dedication. I have seen many people who after gaining success deviate and change their line of interest, but for me, it was always wrestling and bodybuilding.

Q. Are you a foodie? If yes, what do you like the most? 

A. I am very conscious of what I eat, but I also enjoy my favourite dishes. So, it’s a balanced eating routine for me. My diet includes chicken, egg, rice, dal – a balance of carbs, fats, proteins and fibre.

Q. Why KFC double down burger is your pick?

A. I absolutely loved Double Down burger and would recommend everybody to try it. It has no bun and chicken fillets on both sides – like I say “uppar bhi chicken, neeche bhi chicken, chicken hi chicken” (laughs) – which for a chicken lover like me, is literally a dream burger. 

Q. Is The Great Khali a soft person at heart or as tough as your exterior?

A. I never let anyone influence my life, I don’t give the key to my peace to anyone else. If I start listening to what others say, they wouldn’t let me do anything. I will probably have to sit home then. So, I’m not easily bothered, I know there are people who love me and that is what matters.

Q. What’s your daily diet plan?

A. If I am on a diet, I avoid things like bread, biscuits, etc. I pay attention to having a balanced diet that has the right mix of proteins, carbohydrates, fiber and fats.

Q. Please answer in quick one word: 

A. Your most favourite clothes? 

- comfortable clothes, simple loose t-shirts and pyjamas
b. Paratha or pizza?

- Like both!

c. Burger or fries?

- Burger, that too my new favourite – the KFC Double Down burger

Q. Any message for your fans?

A. To be honest, I wasn’t thinking too far ahead when I started my career. I started by keeping small, simple and short-term achievable goals for myself. I would urge my fans to do the same.
