His antagonist act in ‘Dabangg’ has won Sonu Sood many fans, but none as special as Rajinikanth! The Southern megastar was so impressed with the on screen Cheddi Singh that he’s confirmed Sonu for ‘Rana’, reported to be India’s most expensive film ever!
Sood’s thrilled to be sharing screen space with his idol and is looking forward to start shooting for ‘Rana’. In a recent tabloid quote he said, “I’ve seen ‘Robot’ twice…and I was spellbound by the film’s special effects and Raijni sir’s star charisma. Rajini sir hugged me the day we met and said he was looking forward to working with me. I can’t wait for the camera to roll.”
Apparently the superstar insisted on casting Sonu, after watching his villainous acts in ‘Dabangg’ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’. Rajini was also blown away by Sood’s electrifying performance as Pasupati in the Tamil superhit ‘Arundhati’.
The B’Townie is thanking his lucky stars and can’t believe the tremendous journey he’s made as an actor. “In a week’s time, I start shooting ‘Buddha’ with Mr. Bachchan and then in April, I will be working with Rajini sir. Imagine a small town boy with no film background working with legends we’ve grown up idolising and still in awe of. I feel blessed,” Sonu told the tabloid.
In the meantime, Sonu’s excited about returning as Cheddi Singh’s revengeful twin in ‘Dabangg 2’, which is still in it’s scripting stages. “’Dabangg’ is a huge brand today and the responsibility will now be greater,” he said.
