Sonu Sood in Fateh
On Fateh, Sonu Sood is on quadruple duty as actor, director, producer and writer. The demands of the roles don’t weigh him down as he is eager to take the thriller, which revolves around the rampant cybercrime in the country, to a wider audience and make them aware of the menace. As the film is now in post-production, Sood remembers how the idea struck him after the pandemic, when many cybercrime victims approached him for help.
The actor shares, “Whether it was for medical or educational needs, a lot of people tried getting in touch with me. There were [frauds] who told them that clicking on a link would connect them to me. Next thing you know, the money would go out of their [accounts]. It’s sad as they come from financially challenged circumstances. I remember once, a son based in Lucknow wanted an ambulance for his mother, and was told he would get one if he clicked on a link. He had only R6,000 and that was taken away. Someone connected him to me, and I arranged that ambulance for him.”
