Sonu Sood says he refused Salman Khan’s Dabangg first, decided to make changes to the character later: ‘I wrote many scenes of the film’

In the promo of the chat, Sonu can also be heard talking about working with Salman Khan in Dabangg. The actor said that he was fully aware that the spotlight would always be on Salman, but he was determined that he too, would make an impression. He shared that wrote many scenes of Dabangg and made changes to the character of Chhedi Singh. “Mera ek criteria tha ki thik hai aapke mere se…21 role ho sakta hai. Par mai bhi 19 role toh lekar jaunga hi jaunga (I only had one criterion that you might have more scenes than me, but I too will give my best and have the rest of the scenes).”

He shared, “Dabangg ke maine bahut saare scenes likhe. Aur maine character ko badla tha. Pehle voh bahut hi arrogant aur ekdum faad dunga, jaan le lunga, aise type ka character tha. Toh mujhe voh acha nahi laga toh maine isliye Dabangg ko bhi mana kar dia tha (I wrote a lot of scenes of Dabangg. I changed the character a bit. Earlier, he was brash and arrogant which I did not like. So I refused Dabangg then).” Sonu shared that he made Chhedi Singh into a “comical” character.

Sonu’s conversation will stream on Wednesday.
