Sonu Sood is out of Dabangg 2
Meena Iyer | Oct 25, 2011, 12.00AM ISTAfter the story narration took place on October 21, Sonu has reportedly quit. So what really happened here? And this has been still kept a secret. According to a source from the storytelling department, Sonu was meant to be in the sequel in the role of the 'main' baddie. He would have had his shot again during the Munni Badnaam Hui kind of number. His scenes allowed him a chance to showcase his six-pack abs and fight with Salman in the climax. But he would definitely have less screen time because Prakash was being introduced as a comic villain, shades that his own character Cheddi Singh showed in the original.
Our source adds, once the narration was done, Sonu and Arbaaz hugged and shook hands. All seemed well but we hear that the film's original baddie wasn't one bit kicked about sharing space with the Wanted and Singham villain. Sonu and Arbaaz have apparently been having discussions on this subject even till the time we go to press. However Sonu who has been the only villain in Dabangg, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu is certainly not in favour of having his own role diluted.
Sonu Sood refused to comment.
After Abhinav Kashyap (the director of Dabangg), this is the second casualty that the sequel has suffered.
