Sonu added that whenever he used to recite his dialogues, his director would correct him thinking he was making a factual error. However, Sonu, in return would ask the director to check if what he is narrating is ‘apt’. The director would cross-check and come back to him stating that Sonu’s facts were actually correct.

Not only that, but Sonu also revealed how his movie clashed with two other movies revolving around the life of Bhagat Singh. During those days, the actor felt that he has taken a humungous risk, but later he realised his whole journey actually began from there. Many prominent directors watched his performances and further roped him in for their films.
