After spreading festive cheer with Diwali celebrations alongside his wife Lin Laishram, Randeep Hooda is back to doing what he does best staying disciplined and fit. The actor, known for his dedication to physical transformation, has jumped straight back into his training routine following the holiday season.
Taking to Instagram, Hooda shared a couple of shirtless photos that capture him standing by a window, his sculpted physique gleaming under soft sunlight. Along with the pictures, he penned a caption that reflects both determination and purpose:“The body remembers the rhythm. Post-Diwali reset back to training, back to purpose. A new chapter loading. 💪🏻 #BackToTheGrind #NewChapter.”
The post, which exudes calm focus and self-discipline, hints that Hooda might already be preparing for his next cinematic outing. Known for his method-acting approach and immersive transformations — be it Sarbjit, Highway, or Swatantrya Veer Savarkar — Hooda’s “new chapter” seems to promise yet another intense role on the horizon.
Just a few days ago, the actor and Lin Laishram had given fans a glimpse of their warm and traditional Diwali celebration with family. Dressed in elegant ethnic wear, the couple radiated joy as they performed festive rituals together.
On the professional front, Randeep Hooda’s upcoming slate is as diverse as it is ambitious. He will be seen in O’ Romeo, an action-thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, co-starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri. The film is slated for release in February 2026. He will also be seen in Operation Khukri: A military drama inspired by real-life events from 2000, where 233 Indian soldiers were held hostage in Sierra Leone. Hooda will portray Major General Raj Pal Punia, who led the daring rescue mission. He will also be seen in Matchbox, a Hollywood action-thriller marking Hooda’s second collaboration with Extraction director Sam Hargrave. The project is based on the iconic Matchbox car line and is expected to blend gritty action with global appeal.
With such an impressive mix of national and international projects, Randeep Hooda continues to cement his place as one of Indian cinema’s most versatile performers.
As he returns to the gym post-Diwali, it’s clear that for Randeep, fitness isn’t just about the body — it’s about aligning with purpose. And if his words are any indication, this “new chapter” is shaping up to be one of his most powerful yet.
