Sonu Sood's initiatives
Sonu Sood had started his helpful initiatives by sending migrants home when all means of travel were temporarily shut during the lockdown. He later extended this gesture by donating face shields to police, paying for medical expenses, providing mobile phones to students, arranging for rehabilitation of homes and more. Some of his initiatives have taken off in a big and formal manner like a platform to provide jobs in Noida, scholarships for students and also a platform to arrange for surgeries.

On the professional front, Sonu will star in Prithviraj, a film based on 12th century King Prithviraj Chauhan. He also has been shooting for Telugu film Alludu Adhurs.
