In Stree 2, where Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurrana conjure up a perfect blend of fright and fun, there’s one character who truly gives us the shivers - Sarkata, the headless spectre that’s turning heads (or rather, not turning them). This spine-tingling role is played by Sunil Kumar, a towering 7 feet 7 inches of pure terror, dubbed 'The Great Khali of Jammu'. One might think it is all VFX but that's not true. His eerie presence and creepy charisma have made him a scene-stealer in this horror-comedy, proving that sometimes, the scariest things are the ones that can’t even look you in the eye! Sarkata From ‘Stree 2’, Headless Horseman From ‘Sleepy Hollow’ and More; 5 Spine-Tingling ‘Headless’ Characters That Haunted Our Screens!.

Who Is Sunil Kumar Aka Sarkata?

Sunil Kumar, aka ‘The Great Angaar,’ creates unforgettable havoc in Amar Kaushik’s Stree 2, casting a chilling spell over Chanderi. This towering ace wrestler and Jammu and Kashmir Police constable brings an eerie intensity to his role as Sarkata. Impressed by Kumar’s imposing physique, Kaushik used body shots for realism, with CGI completing Sarkata’s face. Born on December 16, 1990, Kumar is a handball and volleyball aficionado and was part of the WWE Tryout in 2019. And here’s a twist – he’s a remarkable five inches taller than The Great Khali! ‘Stree 2’ Trailer: Rajkummar Rao Transforms Into Chanderi’s Saviour As ‘Sarkata’ Threatens Village Women in Amar Kaushik’s Horror-Comedy (Watch Video).
