If somebody will come to me, then definitely I will tell that person about myself. “It would be good if there is a biopic on me. But even if there is no biopic, then also it’s fine. Everybody wants to see a film made on them... But it’s not like I will die of hunger if it’s not made,” he added. A former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star, Khali who has a towering height of 7’1 ft, said a biography which will be out in November will be a tell-all tale on his life.  “There is a book coming up on my real life. It’s a biography. It will come out in November and will be in English. I will reveal further details later,” he said. Khali, who has himself featured in Hollywood films like “The Longest Yard” and “Get Smart” as well as Bollywood movies like “Kushti” and “Ramaa: The Saviour”, visited IANS to talk about professiol wrestling matches that he is organising in Harya next month.
