He loves to display his six-pack abs and jackets – not simultaneously though. He has a collection of 150 jackets from all around the world including Australia where he had gone for the Singh is King shoot. Son of a much awarded academic, Dr. Saroj Sood from Moga, Sonu Sood is himself an electronics engineer making his mark as actor in Bollywood. He is an ex-fashion model who loves doing daring stunts, like jumping from high-rise buildings. He is a tough looking hunk who is politeness personified. You will find these contrasts even in his acting career. Born and brought up in Punjab he debuted in a Telugu movie! Then he did a series of South Indian flicks – including comedies – before he got a break in a Hindi movie.
If you have seen Jodha Akbar you cannot forget the character of Sujamal. Yes, the same aggrieved Rajput prince who eventually sacrifices his life for the sake of his sister Jodha and her husband. Sonu Sood, our munda from Moga, impresses in the role. When complimented, he modestly shrugs it off. No wonder. He has impressed in movies like Yuva, Aashiq banaya aap ne etc and has done lead/meaty roles in Ek vivah aisa bhi, Shahid-e-Aazam Bhagat Singh, Mission Mumbai, Sirf and several others. Currently he is working with such prominent directors as Aashutosh Gowarikar, Mani Ratnam and Shyam Benegal. You can also enjoy his portrayal of ‘King’ opposite Akshaye in the comedy Singh is King. In fact after a few initial hiccups, Sonu is fast gaining reputation in the industry as a talented actor with the potential for becoming a superstar. When that happens he would be emulating Dharmendra who is the only superstar who was actually born and brought up in Punjab.
