Randeep Hooda’s intense screen presence and Viineet Kumar Singh’s versatility are also expected to add layers to the narrative, making Jaat more than just a one-man show.The makers will be releasing the title track today in Delhi.

I’ve always been into sports, weight training came later. I take life like sports — that’s just the way I am.”
