Just two days back, actor R Madhavan had tweeted and revealed that he had to opt out of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Simmba’ due to an injury.
He had written, “Hey folks .. So I am a huge crazy fan of Rohit Shetty and his films. As is my son. It breaks both our hearts that I’m not able to be a part of this film because of my injury. I’m well on my way to recovery but this is a huge opportunity and excitement lost.’
Well, that surely gave us some sorrow because it would have been amazing to see the versatile actor play a negative role opposite the funny cop act of Ranveer Singh.
Now, actor Sonu Sood has stepped in as the negative lead in the Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan-starrer ‘Simmba’.
The actor is not new to playing antagonists as he has essayed negative characters in movies like ‘Dabangg’, ‘R… Rajkumar’ to name a few. Reports in Mirror revealed that he is indeed on board the project. (Also Read: Exclusive: Sara’s debut movie to be ‘Simmba’)
He is to start shooting in a few weeks. Reveals Sonu, “We are still working on my look. Rohit bhai and I will make sure that it is one of the most talked about screen avatars of the year.”
The source further added, “Rohit wouldn’t like to delay the film at any cost.
Well, it’s going to be interesting to see the face-off between Ranveer Singh and Sonu Sood. Helmed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Karan Johar, ‘Simmba’ is slated to release on 28 Dec this year.
