Although Sonu Sood went to great lengths to acquire the Hindi rights of the Tamil chartbuster Aa Ante Amalpuram for his new film Maximum, he will not be lip-syncing to the song in the film after all.

He has none other than the Big B to blame for being deprived of the pleasure of singing a track he really wanted in his film. “My cop’s character in Maximum is similar to Bachchan saab’s personality in Zanjeer. The guy doesn’t even talk much. How would he burst into a peppy item song?” says Sood.
