Vineet Kumar Singh will be seen in the role of Mohammad Shahabuddin in the upcoming web series, Rangbaaz 3. The bit of information was kept under the wraps so far but a little birdie tells us exclusively that the show is indeed, like speculated, based on the life of the former politician. Shahabuddin died in 2021 due to COVID-19.

He was a convicted gangster who was accused of killing at least 15 Communist party activists, including former student leader Chandrashekhar Prasad. Shahabuddin was serving life sentence for allegedly abducting Chote Lal Gupta of CPIML Liberation.

The graph is very similar to what Vineet plays in Rangbaaz 3. Another similarity is in one image – of them being escorted by (on and off screen) cops.

The only difference is that while in Shahabuddin’s famous photo, people were cheering on as the police escorted him, Vineet, as Saheb, is only escorted by the cops. They have maintained a similar look too, more or less. Vineet is seen with a moustache of the same style and similar hairstyle too. He chose not to wear sunglasses because the shot was in night time. Vineet also chose to wear a long white kurta instead of a white shirt and denim.

Here are their photos:

Shahabuddin was also a close associate to Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Prasad Yadav. Whether a character will play him in the series, is yet to be seen.

Rangbaaz season 3 will release on Zee5. The series is the third installment in the franchise. The third season will start streaming from July 29.
