Sonu Sood turns a year older today. While the actor initially rose to fame with his villainous roles on screen, he soon became a real-life hero through his efforts to help people during the COVID-19 lockdown. He turned into a messiah for those stranded in different parts of the world, with no means to return home. Over the years, he has also funded education and medical treatment for the underprivileged. Alongside his philanthropic work, Sood has continued to pursue his love for cinema.

International collaborations in Fateh

He made his directorial debut with the film Fateh, which was released in theatres earlier this year. He also served as the writer and producer, in addition to playing the lead role. To bring the film up to global standards, he brought on board Lee Whittaker, the Hollywood action director known for Jurassic Park III and Fast & Furious 5.

He also collaborated with Vincenzo Condorelli, an award-winning Italian cinematographer, to ensure top-tier visual quality. Not just that, he roped in legendary music composer Hans Zimmer for the film’s score, marking Zimmer’s Bollywood debut. Hans Zimmer is also reportedly working on Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, in collaboration with A.R. Rahman.
