NEW DELHI: After playing a historical role in Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, Sonu Sood is excited playing yet another one in Kangana Ranaut starrer ‘Manikarnika’.
Being a historical drama, Sonu is quite excited to be part of it since it gives him the opportunity to do lot of action and sword-fighting sequences. ”Sonu is known for his chiseled physique and he is always in his best shape.
The talented actor, who maintains a healthy and disciplined life, likes performing action scenes on his own. He has done the same for most of his films, including his Indo-Chinese production, Kung-Fu Yoga.
Since the actor will be seen performing heavy-weight sword fights and hand-to-hand combat besides death-defying stunts, the makers suggested him to opt for a body double,” sources said. “Interestingly, Sonu has pulled off dangerous action stunts while shooting for the film in Mumbai and Hyderabad, much to the surprise of the makers and his co-stars,” the source adds.
Sonu says, “I enjoy doing my own stunts and that gives me high. I think the confidence also comes from the fact that you know things are well organised. When you’re working with a brilliant director , a huge ensemble and a brilliant technical team, there is no way to go wrong.” (AGENCIES)
