Sonu Sood revealed that Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan had approached him for Dabangg 2. However, he turned down their offer.
Sonu Sood left everyone impressed with his portrayal of the main antagonist Chhedi Singh in Salman Khan‘s blockbuster film Dabangg (2010) which was helmed by Abhinav Kashyap. It was followed up with his sequel- Dabangg 2 which released two years later.
Arbaaz Khan stepped into the director’s shoes for Dabangg 2, and the film also saw a new group of villains which was lead by Prakash Raj. But do you know that the makers had approached Sonu Sood for Dabangg 2 as well? However, the actor turned down the offer.
Sonu revealed that he was offered the role of Cheddi Singh’s brother Thakur Bachcha Lal Singh in the sequel, but he rejected it as it didn’t excite him.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay, the Jodhaa Akbar actor shared, “Salman and Arbaaz are like my family. So they called me again to play the role of Chhedi Singh’s brother, but I rejected the role.”
Further, emphasizing that it is important to say ‘NO’, he explained. “Somehow the role didn’t excite me. Salman and Arbaaz were very sweet and they told me to do it. But I told them, ‘Mujhe excitement nahi aa raha, yeh role ko le kar. Toh main kaise kar paunga. They said ‘it’s okay, no issues’.”
The actor also revealed that when Salman invited him to the premiere for Dabangg 2, he attended it.
On the work front, Sonu is currently busy with the promotions of his upcoming action thriller Fateh co-starring Jacqueliene Fernandez.
