What Sonu said about directing Fateh

On Sunday, speaking with news agency ANI, Sonu shared the reason for choosing to direct Fateh. The actor, who has been an action star for most of his acting career, attended the red carpet screening of his debut directorial in New Delhi. Sonu said, “I always used to think that whenever a Bollywood movie is made – we often say that why our movies do not have action scenes like foreign movies.”

“Why the foreign people not talk about our action scenes? It was always there in my mind, but as an actor, you do not have much say due to your limits, including the production budget and script. When I became the director, I brought that into my movie,” he added.

Sonu spent a lot of time writing the action scenes for the film, and he recalled an action scene that took 2.5 months to complete.
