Asked how he wants to take forward his career in Bollywood, Sonu told IANS: "The kind of roles that have been offered are different. They are larger than life, and real life hero roles.

I have to make sure that I live up to the expectations and do justice with whatever I do," he added.

The actor added that the makers of a Telugu film have changed the script according to his new image. And he does not mind reshooting it.
