Many see Hollywood as a threat to Bollywood in the Indian market. But Sonu says it is not fair to compare the two.

He said: “They have the liberty to make big films with huge scale with the kind of budgets they have, the kind of reach they have, the kind of audience they have. We are also delivering great stories in whatever resources we have. So, we can’t compare.”

Sonu Sood has been a part of Bollywood films like Happy New Year, Dabangg, Gabbar Is Back and Shootout At Wadala.

The actor, who has featured in films like Salman Khan’s Dabangg and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Happy New Year, added that “we should be really proud of what cinema we make”.

Sonu started out as a model before venturing into showbiz in 1999, and has featured in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu films. He has also established his production house Shakti Sagar Productions in memory of his father.
