Real Superhero

This isn’t the first time, actor Sonu Sood was compared to the great Bhagat Singh. Fans had termed him a real-life hero after his actions of greatness during the coronavirus pandemic-induced lockdown. The actor was hailed by not just the netizens, but celebrities across industries, as he helped the migrant workers and other stranded people reach home. During the time, a fan had posted a picture of Sonu Sood as Bhagat Singh with the tagline ‘Today’s Bhagat Singh’ which had gone viral.

In the tweet, a fan compared the actor to the iconic freedom fighter Bhagat Singh. The fan said that he is the biggest hero in the country today. However, Sonu responded that it was not possible for anyone to even come close to what Bhagat Singh had done for the country. The actor, however, recalled playing the role of the freedom fighter in his debut film and being ‘fortunate’ to get the opportunity. 

Sonu Sood started off his career with multiple villain roles in South Indian films. Later, Sonu made his Hindi debut in the film Shaheed-E-Azam in 2002. Incidentally, the film featured the actor in the freedom fighter’s role and shed light on his contributions, along with Rajguru and Sukhdev, in revolting against the British.
