The Atlanta-based Dalip Singh Rana, who is from Himachal Pradesh, stands over 7ft tall and weighs nearly 200kg.
Nicknamed the "Great Khali", Rana is a top draw at the hugely popular World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
With some Hollywood work under his belt, he is now looking at offers from Bollywood.







'Punjabi Warrior'
Rana, 36, is now back in India to spend some time at home and shoot a documentary on his life.




He is the first Indian to be signed up by WWE, and enjoys top billing in the famous American showbiz circus alongside fighters such as Hulk Hogan and The Rock

When was this article written, 2003? The Rock and Hogan haven't wrestled in years. And it sounds like the article was written for an elementary school newspaper. I should know, I wrote for one of those when I was in elementary school.

I disagree. I think it's simple and factual which is good, because there are a lot of adults out there with reading skills not far above (or below) elementry school level anyway...
