However, Sood has no regrets about it, thanks to his more happening career down south.
"I am aware of the fact that it will be some time before I make a mark here but I am quite enjoying my stint down south. In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that I am having a ball shooting down south with some of the best banners and roles coming my way," he smiles.
For record, Sood has 18 releases to his credit so far in Tamil and Telugu having worked with some of the best known names like Shiva Nagesh Rao to Bharati and P. Vasu.
Sood has incidentally been signed to play the central character by ad-man Prahlad Kakkar in his next film. "It is a film revolving around the crime network in Delhi and I am looking forward to working in it," he says.
