Jaat features Sunny Deol as Baldev Pratap Singh and Randeep Hooda as the villainous Ranatunga. Interestingly, Randeep was initially reluctant to take on the negative role.
Ahead of the film's release, an insider shared, “When the producers approached Randeep for the role of Ranatunga, he was intrigued by the challenge, but he also had his reservations and wasn't sure of taking that leap. But seeing the enthusiasm of the director, Gopichand Malineni, during the narration of the screenplay and playing the lead villain to Sunny Deol, whom he greatly admires, was the main reason that made him say yes.”
Jaat has been jointly produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Zee Studio, and People Media Factory.
