Sonu Sood has said that some of his action scenes in the upcoming film, Acharya, had to be reworked, because producers believed that the public may not like Chiranjeevi beating him up.
Featuring Chiranjeevi in the lead role, Acharya hits theatres on Friday, April 29.
Sonu had earlier mentioned that he has been getting different roles post-pandemic as his image has changed.
His philanthropic activities during the lockdown have transformed the actor, who used to earlier play the villain.
n an interview with indianexpress.com, Sonu said, “I feel it is very difficult to see me (in a negative role).
All the producers, directors and writers have spoken about how they cannot see me or imagine me in a negative role anymore.
I remember I started shooting for two films before Covid-19, including Acharya. And they had to rework a little bit on a few scenes."
He further said, "Like in the action sequences, Chiranjeevi sir was not sure if hitting me will be accepted by people. So yes, people are thinking a lot about it.
Even the scripts that are coming my way are all positive roles. So, there is a second-innings on its way."
