Sonu Sood is all set for his next production. The film is titled ‘Sarvggun Sampanna’, the film will have Arjun Rampal and Sonu Sood both in the lead and will be directed by Karan Kashyap. It will be a comedy film which will be set in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and it will revolve around these two guys. The film will go on floors in March and April.


Sonu Sood said, “It’s a comedy set in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar which revolves around these two guys. We have been working on the script for the past eight-nine months. We’ll cast the actress soon. I felt Arjun could do justice to the role, which is really powerful. Arjun has loved the script.”


A source confirmed, “Sonu had recently visited Farrukhabad, which is near Lucknow, to inaugurate a gym dedicated to his late mother, Mrs. Saroj Sood. During the trip, he also decided to do a reccee of the city and nearby places with the film’s director. Sonu was excited about the script as most of his college friends are from Bihar and he has been to the state a couple of times. They even plan to source costumes from UP and Bihar to make the characters look authentic.”


Sonu who is currently shooting for ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’, admits about his wish to produce films, “When I was shooting for my first film, all my co-actors would tell me that I was headed in that direction but I never thought it would happen. But I learnt the craft in the course of the 70-80 films I have done across languages and realised that producing films would allow me to tell stories of my choice. That lets you understand the script and the role well and helps design the film accordingly.”


On the work front for Sonu is a biopic on ace badminton player P V Sindhu. A source said, “The team has locked the script and is currently scouting for an actress to play the titular role.”
