"Rohit [Shetty] and Ranveer [Singh] are the most positive people one can ever work with," starts off Sonu Sood, as we get on a call with him. The actor recently wrapped up the shoot of Simmba, which marks his first collaboration with the director as well as the co-star.

He may have had to bow out of the last schedule of Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi — which, in turn, led to his exit from the project — for the action comedy, but he is not complaining. Sood says he is glad to have found, in Shetty and Singh, artistes who share his zeal for cinema. "Their passion for craft is immense," he smiles.
