Sonu Sood’s next Sarvggun Sampanna made under his
production banner Shakti Sagar Productions also featuring Arjun Rampal will be
going on floors around April this year. Directed by Karan Kashyap, who has served as an
assistant on films like Bunty Aur Babli, Chak de! India, and Raavan, Sonu and
Arjun are scheduled to begin with reading sessions and workshops once the later
returns from his Jharkhand trip.
Sonu confirms, “It’s a comedy set in Uttar Pradesh
and Bihar which revolves around these two guys. We have been working on the
script for the past eight-nine months. We’ll cast the actress soon.” Sonu, who shares a great rapport with Arjun and
bonded well over fitness while shooting for JP Dutta’s Paltan in Ladakh, says,
“I felt Arjun could do justice to the role, which is really powerful. Arjun has
loved the script.” If sources are to be believed, Sonu had recently
visited Farrukhabad, which is near Lucknow, to inaugurate a gym dedicated to
his late mother, Mrs Saroj Sood. “During the trip, he also decided to do a
reccee of the city and nearby places with the film’s director. Sonu was excited
about the script as most of his college friends are from Bihar and he has been
to the state a couple of times. They even plan to source costumes from UP and
Bihar to make the characters look authentic,” informs a source. Sonu who is currently shooting for the Kangana
Ranaut-starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi admits that he had always
wanted to produce films. “When I was shooting for my first film, all my
co-actors would tell me that I was headed in that direction but I never thought
it would happen. But I learnt the craft in the course of the 70-80
films I have done across languages and realised that producing films would
allow me to tell stories of my choice,” he says, explaining that it’s easy to
act and produce a film simultaneously. “That lets you understand the script and
the role well and helps design the film accordingly.” On the production front,
Sonu is also working on a biopic on ace badminton player P V Sindhu. “The team
has locked the script and is currently scouting for an actress to play the
titular role,” adds the source.
