Randeep Hooda announces release date of his Hollywood debut Extraction

Actor Randeep Hooda, who is known for delivering rousing performances in several Bollywood movies including Murder 3 (2013), Highway (2014) and Sarbjit (2016), is gearing up to make his Hollywood debut.

The talented actor will be seen playing an important role in the forthcoming Netflix original film, Extraction. In addition to Hooda, the much-awaited film also features Hollywood superstar Chris Hemsworth in the lead role. Helmed by Sam Hargrave, the movie boasts of the screenplay by Joe Russo.


On Tuesday, Randeep Hooda took to social media to announce the release date of Extraction. “20 years after I thought I’ll make a showreel to work over there. It finally happened. So grateful to the most amazing crew and cast. It is a dose of Extra Action and emotion,” wrote the actor.

The story of Extraction revolves around Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), a black-market mercenary who sets out on the deadliest extraction of his career when he is enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. The movie was initially titled Dhaka, but now the makers have renamed it as Extraction.

Apart from Randeep Hooda and Chris Hemsworth, Extraction also features Manoj Bajpayee and Pankaj Tripathi in important supporting characters.

On Bollywood front, Hooda is working with superstar Salman Khan on Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Also starring Disha Patani and Jackie Shroff in key characters, the movie is being directed by Prabhu Deva. Though Radhe is scheduled to hit the screens on Eid 2020, the makers may decide to postpone its release date in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Dhee on staying rooted, making ‘honest music’ and Tamil music’s global rise

Highlights

  • Dhee says Vari Vari emerged from a deeply personal and reflective period in her life
  • The singer believes listeners worldwide are searching for “new sounds and new stories”
  • She says remaining rooted in her identity has always been central to her music
  • Dhee hopes to release more albums and perform more frequently in the years ahead

A song shaped by reflection rather than intention

For Dhee, Vari Vari was not born out of a deliberate attempt to move in a new direction. Instead, it arrived during a period of reflection that naturally began influencing the music she was making. Speaking exclusively, the singer described how many of her recent songs have mirrored experiences unfolding in her own life, making them feel more personal than planned.

That emotional undercurrent eventually found its way into Vari Vari. Conversations with lyricist Vivek (Vivek Anna) slowly shaped the track, which grew from discussions around love and human connection. Rather than following a formula, the song evolved organically and became a reflection of thoughts she had already been carrying.
