Comedian Atul Khatri recently tweeted that the audience may not accept Sonu Sood as a villain on-screen anymore, to which the actor said that it was time for a ‘new innings’. However, Sonu’s fans have a quite different opinion on the same. They feel that the difference in his reel and real life will display his versatility as an actor.
Sonu Sood has been working in films for a long time and has established himself as one of the most popular villains on-screen. However, the image has been revamped from his on-screen villain to real-life hero over the past five months as he tirelessly works for the people during the pandemic. Seeing this, comedian Atul Khatri believes that the audience won’t accept the actor as a villain anymore.
Atul wrote on Twitter, “Me thinks @SonuSood will never be able to play the role of a villain again in a movie. The audience will rightfully never accept it.” Sonu responded saying, “Time to play New Innings bhai.”
Interestingly, many of Sonu’s fans who have been hailing him as a hero in these tough times, disagreed with Atul. “I highly disagree with your opinion, his acting is adaptive and uniquely expressive and only true actor can play multiple roles. People wud love to see him in various roles, even in villain role people will accept & love him,” wrote one. Another fan tweeted, “In my opinion, the audience would like it more because how judiciously, honestly and perfectly Sonu balances his reel and real life.”
Sonu has been helping the the migrant workers and other people stuck in different parts of the country due to the nationwide lockdown announced in March. While the lockdown ended on May 31, he continues to help migrant workers and people stuck abroad reach their homes. He is also providing employment to those who lost their jobs during the pandemic and has become a national hero and a ‘messiah’ to many.
In an interview with a leading daily, Sonu said, “I don’t think I am a national hero. It started very simply with me being worried about the plight of all migrants, who were unable to reach their homes. I am touched by the outpouring of love and blessing s for me but I just think I am doing my bit and everyone should do it. it is easy to appreciate me or my mission but I urge other to do the same.”
