The latest one to join the cast of this warrior drama happens to be actor Sonu Sood. According to reports, The fitness freak actor will play the character of Sadashiv in the historical drama and the actor has already begun his preparation for the film.
Sonu Sood was last seen in Tutak Tutak Tutiya and Kung Fu Yoga. Given that Sonu Sood has done a historical period drama like Jodha Akbar in the past, it would be interesting to see him in that genre yet again. A source close to the actor informed,”Sonu will essay the role of a warrior, Sadashiv in the historical drama, alongside Kangana Ranaut. The versatile actor has already begun his prep for the film being directed by Krish.”
Sonu who is extremely excited for the role also gave a statement, “It is challenging to play a real life character because you know that it existed in the history and you have certain parameters to follow and stay within. I’m sure when you’re working with a brilliant director like Krish, a huge ensemble, and a brilliant technical team, there is no way to go wrong. So we are all on our toes to give our best.”
