Is that a back handed compliment @timesofindia or did you genuinely get confused between the “real” and “reel” Charles Sobhraj ? 🤔😜 pic.twitter.com/5Fa1DwMjra

This tweet of the actor left many users of Twitter amused. Some also appreciated Hooda’s transformation into Sobhraj. One of them wrote, “They got confused cause you literally metamorphosed into Charles Sobhraj for that role. Can’t blame them!” Another added, “😂😂😂 that’s called perfect acting.” One of the comments on Hooda’s tweet read, “May be it’s the way you camouflaged into the character that forgot you are Randeep Hooda.”

In an interview with The Indian Express, Sobhraj said he would want Randeep Hooda to play him in movies that would be made on his life. He said, “I would very much have Randeep Hooda to again play my role. In Charles and I, he gave an excellent performance. I met Hooda last October and I like him as a person. I think he’ll become one of the top actors in Bollywood.”

Written and directed by Prawaal Raman, Main Aur Charles also starred Richa Chadha, Adil Hussain and Tisca Chopra among others.
