Over the past two years, Sunny Deol was so focussed on creating the perfect launchpad for son Karan that he did not take on any acting assignments. Now, the actor is big screen-bound again — he has given his nod to a thriller, which will be helmed by South director Hanu Raghavapudi.

"It's not a remake of any South film. It's an interesting subject, loaded with action and suspense. The character is different from what I have done till date. Though it's too early to say anything about my role, it requires me to put in some extra efforts," says Deol of the project that goes on floors next month.
