Chiranjeevi Refused To Hit Sonu Sood; Check Out Why

Sonu Sood has said makers have started to approach him with lead roles due to his philanthropic work for migrant workers during the lockdown.

Earlier this year, Sonu Sood, known for movies like Dabangg, Jodhaa Akbar, and Simmba, catapulted to the national spotlight for his helping work for migrants to reach their homes during the lockdown.

“I am getting all hero roles now. I have got four-five brilliant scripts. Let’s hope. It’s new beginnings. It is a new pitch and it will be nice and fun,” the actor said.

He recalled that during the shooting of his upcoming Tollywood flick Acharya, South superstar Chiranjeevi expressed reservations about hitting him for a scene, given his newfound image of a hero.

“We were doing an action sequence and Chiranjeevi sir said, ‘You being in the flick is a big problem for us because I can’t hit you in the action scene’. He said if he does that people would curse him.

The 47-year-old actor also revealed that the makers of another Tollywood flick have changed the script according to his new image, meaning that he will have to shoot his portions again.
