He is tall, good looking and the epitome of a super hero. But did you also know that SONU SOOD in his journey as an actor has worked in the maximum number of hit films? No wonder, he’s been considered as a lucky mascot for many producers. Sumita Chakraborty grills the very handsome Sonu Soon about his films - Paltan, Simmba, and Manikarnika, bond with Kangana and much more.
He belongs to no camp or has no Godfather. As for nepotism, don’t even think about it… he belongs to a very non-filmi family. Yet, this man who walks tall, took the leap of faith and with sheer hard work and self-belief reached the top of the ladder. Today, with many prestigious films under his belt, Sonu Sood is being considered as the lucky mascot of the film industry. Read on… as this very grounded man talks about his life, films, self-belief and more…
You’re one actor, who has without tom-tomming on rooftops bagged some of the best projects in the industry – from Manikarnika To Simmba - that too without belonging to any camp. How did you manage to do all this?
I wish I knew the formula. If I did, I would have applied it much earlier in my career. I came to Mumbai with two things in mind – one was to fulfil the dreams of my parents. They were waiting for me to bag the right film so that they could go to the theatres, and see me onscreen, and so I had to make it fast. But it did take time, however, finally it happened. And regarding the second: I knew that I wanted to work with the best of directors and banners. Initially I used to say ‘no’ to many movies and they used to tell me ‘You are a newcomer and you have the guts to say no!’ …And they found that arrogant as well. But I always knew what I wanted to do. And one thing I was sure about was that I didn’t want to go back to Punjab without making my mark. And that I did and that’s how the makers understood that this guy has value.
You are like this silent operator. You don’t belong to any camp nor are you from a filmi family or have a Godfather, yet you have managed without all this. How?
