Sonu Sood: Few roles gave me chance to explore my physical prowess, emotional side at same time
"Fateh Singh packs a mean punch but will do anything for his loved ones. – Sonu Sood"

Mumbai, June 17

As his film “Fateh” is all set for a television premiere, actor-director Sonu Sood said that in his career, which spans over two decades, there are very few roles that gave him a chance to explore his physical prowess and emotional side at same time.

On helming an action thriller for his filmmaking debut, Sonu said: “I always knew if I ever direct a film, my first attempt will be in the thrilling world of action. What’s unique about Fateh is that it takes action sequences of international standards, and places them in a very raw and Indian context.”

“Every fight and battle is happening for a reason, and not just action for action’s sake”.

‘Fateh’ tells the story of Fateh Singh, a former special ops officer compelled to wear his boots again, when an innocent girl is kidnapped by a cybercrime syndicate.

Talking about his character, he added: “In my career, very few roles gave me the chance to explore my physical prowess and emotional side at the same time. Fateh Singh is one such character who packs a mean punch but also will do anything for his loved ones.”

“He is a man bad people will be afraid of, and good people will be inspired by. I’m beyond elated that my directorial debut will premiere on Star Gold on the 22nd June Sunday 8 pm”.

Featuring Sonu in the lead, ‘Fateh’ also features Jacqueline Fernandez, Shiv Jyoti Rajput, Vijay Raaz and Naseeruddin Shah.

Talking about her role in the film, Shiv Jyoti Rajput said: "I am thrilled to be involved in a project like Fateh that goes beyond just action and excitement, serving as a cautionary tale about cyber-crime, a threat that my character experiences in the movie.”

“In this modern era, from rural to urban cities where we are all immersed in the digital realm, Fateh effectively sheds light on the sinister cyber-crime underworld lurking beneath the surface.”

The film will air on Star Gold on June 22.

Sonu Sood has truly evolved from being just an actor to a complete entertainer! His humanitarian work during COVID made us all proud, and now he's directing too. Fateh looks promising with that international action + desi tadka combination. Will definitely watch this Sunday! 🇮🇳

The cybercrime angle is so relevant today! Appreciate Bollywood finally making films about real issues instead of just masala entertainment. Though I wish they'd cast more newcomers instead of Jacqueline Fernandez - she's becoming repetitive in these roles.

Saw Fateh in theaters - the action sequences are 🔥! Sonu Sood's transformation from villain roles to this action hero is impressive. That highway chase scene with trucks is better than most Hollywood stuff. Only complaint - could've reduced the slow-mo shots slightly.

As someone who works in cybersecurity, I'm glad films are creating awareness about digital threats. But I hope they show realistic hacking scenes for once instead of those ridiculous "typing fast = hacking" tropes. Still, good initiative by Sonu Sood!

Naseeruddin Shah in a Sonu Sood film? That's some interesting casting! Two generations of brilliant actors together. Hope the script does justice to their talents. The TV premiere timing is perfect for family viewing - Sunday 8pm is our movie time anyway 😊

Sonu Sood is the real-life hero we need more of! From helping migrants during lockdown to making meaningful cinema now. My only request - please make the female characters more than just victims or love interests next time. Shiv Jyoti seems promising though!
