Sonu Sood is waiting for the release of his next film, Samrat Prithviraj, in which Akshay Kumar plays the titular role and Sonu plays the king’s court poet Chand Bardai. In a recent interview, the actor explained why he works in South Indian films, claiming that it keeps him from doing bad Bollywood films.
The actor, who made his acting debut in the Tamil film Kallazhagar in 1999, has appeared in numerous Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada films throughout his career, with his most recent appearance as the main antagonist Basava in Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan’s Acharya.
In an interview with a news website, the actor stated, “I have always been choosy with my scripts, whether I do Tamil, Telugu, or Hindi films. South saves me from not doing bad Hindi films. Otherwise, there comes a phase when you think you’re doing a film just for the sake of being seen in a big film. South helps me stay away from doing that.”
Sonu emphasised that people now require entertainment, and that a good film will be watched regardless of the language in which it is produced. “Mujhe fark nahi padta bhasha kya hai (I don’t get affected by the language), there has to be entertainment, people should be entertained. You can be the biggest star, however successful, but if you take people for granted and still believe that they’ll go out, spend their hard-earned money to watch your film, woh daur jaa chuka hai (that time has passed)”, the actor said.
Samrat Prithviraj also stars former Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar making her Bollywood debut, as well as Sanjay Dutt, Manav Vij, and Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles. The Yash Raj Films’ period historical drama will be released on June 3.
