Sonu Sood, the tall, handsome Punjabi actor is making a mark in Bollywood. Whether as Sujamal, the affectionate Bhaisa in Jodhaa-Akbar, or Abhishek Bachchan’s brother in Yuva, Sonu is here to stay.
Although Sonu Sood belonged from a non-filmy background, yet he aspired to become an actor from since his childhood, a dream which he eventually fulfilled.
Sonu's first impression in media happened when he participated in the Mr. India pageant. Although he did not win the competition, he became a common face in most households with his appearance in commercials like Apollo Tyres, Airtel, etc.
Sonu’s career did not reach the hieghts of success despite him featuring in a number of movies like Super, Athadu among others. The biggest push to his career was given by his performance in telgu movie Arundhati, where he portrayed the role of Aghora. The movie was the biggest Telegu hit of that year and gave Sonu the much awaited credit.
In an interview in 2008, Sonu said,"I played the title role under director Iqbal Singh. Among those who watched Bhagat Singh and Yuva was Ashutosh Gowariker. I have been lucky to work with some of the best directors in the industry. Mani Ratnam, who directed me in Yuva, had seen my Tamil films. I had initially given myself a year to see if I could fit into films. It’s been 11 years and I am still here.
In 2010, Sonu played the lead antagonist in the Hindi movie, Dabangg opposite Salman Khan. He sensationalized the character of Cheddi Singh and this remains one of his much talked about movies.
