Sonu Sood: ‘Mom always felt I write good stories’

It looks like Sonu Sood has enjoyed his time behind the camera as much as in front of it. Even before his maiden directorial venture Fateh has hit the screens, he has begun writing his next. “People who saw Fateh have loved it, and I’ve got many offers [to direct films]. That has given me the encouragement to start working on my next script, which I will act in, produce and direct too. It will be an action movie, but it will have romance too,” he shares. 


Writing, directing and leading a movie can be a handful. The actor-filmmaker says he has turned to writing because of his late mother Saroj Sood. “She always felt I write good stories, and would tell me to keep in touch with my writing.”


With two projects on his plate, Sood has roughly chalked out the timeline—complete Fateh’s post-production, line it up for release by the year-end, and then take the yet-untitled next on floors by early 2025. Right now, his attention is trained on the cyber crime thriller that also stars Jacqueliene Fernandez. “Next week, I’ll head to the US for the movie’s background music. Action director Lee Whittaker considers it one of his best projects. If I am ready with my next script after Fateh’s release, I can begin filming it. I plan to shoot a lot of the action sequences in the US.” He also hopes to squeeze in a Telugu movie in which he plays the leading man. “I have asked the makers to rewrite a few portions. I’ll shoot it after Fateh’s post-production is complete. After the pandemic, I’ve got only protagonist roles. Not one negative role has been offered to me, which is a good sign.”
