Now the actor is currently basking in all the appreciation coming his way for his portrayal of 'Prem' in the recently released Rajshri's Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi.
Sonu, who has slowly but steadily made his mark as a dependable actor, is now looking forward to doing more different and challenging roles; And in his next film Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge, produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Sonu is doing exactly that.
The film has Sonu playing 11 different characters ranging from SRK's 'Raj' in DDLJ to even Mr. Bachchan's 'Vijay' in Deewar.
However, this time the tall actor who bears an uncanny resemblance to Big B is seen playing a dwarf in Big B's famous Deewar get up. Bollywood Hungama quizzed Sonu on whether it is a spoof on Bachchan saab's famous character, "No its not a spoof of Mr.Bachchan's character.
I play an actor in the film and my director Umesh came up with this wacky idea of me playing a dwarf for one of the characters. It was fun yet challenging playing the role of a dwarf".
Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge takes a hilarious look at the happenings in the film industry and stars Paresh Rawal, Sonu Sood, Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan in lead roles. The film is directed by debutant Umesh Shukla and is slated to release in January 2009.
