Actors Sonu Sood and Arjun Rampal have joined hands to work
on a comedy film titled "Sarvggun Sampanna", which is set in Uttar Pradesh and
Bihar.
The movie, directed by Karan Kashyap, will feature Sonu and Arjun
in the lead. Kashyap has served as an assistant on films like "Bunty Aur Babli",
"Chak De! India" and "Raavan", a statement said.
Sonu, who is also
producing the film, had visited Farrukhabad, which is near Lucknow, to
inaugurate a gym dedicated to his late mother Saroj Sood. During the trip, he
also decided to do a recce of the city and nearby places with the film's
director.
"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," Sonu said.
He feels it is easy to act in and produce a film
simultaneously.
"That lets you understand the script and the role well
and helps design the film accordingly."
Sonu had bonded with Arjun over
fitness while shooting for J.P. Dutta's "Paltan" in Ladakh. Produced by JP Films
and directed by Dutta, "Paltan" is scheduled for a summer 2018 release.
