The year 2008 has been good for Sonu Sood. After having started the year platying “Rajkumar Sujamal” in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s epic flick Jodhaa Akbar, Sonu went on to play the comical “King” in Vipul Shah’s blockbuster Singh Is Kinng. Now the actor is currently basking in all the appreciation coming his way for his portrayal of “Prem” in the recently released Rajshri’s Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi.

Sonu, who has slowly but steadily made his mark as a dependable actor, is now looking forward to doing more different and challenging role; And in his next movie Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge, produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Sonu is doing exactly that. The movie has Sonu playing 11 different characters ranging from Shahrukh’s “Raj” in DDLJ to ever Amitabh Bachchan’s “Vijay” in Deewar.

However, this time the tall actor who bears an uncanny resemblance to Amitabh Bachchan is seen playing a dwarf in Big B’s famous Deewar get up. We quizzed Sonu on whether it is a spoof on Bachchan saab’s famous character, “No its not a spoof of Mr Bachchan’s character. I play an actor in the movie and my director Umesh came up with this wacky idea of me playing a dwarf for one of the characters. It was fun yet challenging playing the role of a dwarf”.

Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge takes a hilarious look at the happenings in the film industry and stars Paresh Rawal, Sonu Sood, Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan in lead roles. The movie is directed by newcomer Umesh Shukla and is slated to release in January next year.
