Sonu Sood drops himself from Gabbar Singh

Sonu Sood, who shot to fame with his role in ‘Arundathi’, acted as villain in Salman Khan’s ‘Dabangg’. Later he acted in its Tamil remake ‘Osthi’ with Simbhu.
He was long back selected to play same role in telugu version too, which was titled as ‘Gabbar Singh’. Infect Sonu’s casting for telugu version was done even before Tamil movie started.
But now Sonu decided to drop himself out of Pawan Kalyan’s movie. Sonu says that “I don’t want to do the same role again and again. It too me 1 year for shooting ‘Dabbang‘ and now the Tamil version is taking 6 months of my time. That’s why, I have refused to do the Telugu version. Pawan took my decision positively. He is like family to me,” said Sonu Sood.

Now, director Harish Shankar is looking for replacement of sonu sood. Gabbar Singh is planned to start in October 2011 and release for summer 2012. Shruti Hassan plays heroine’s role while Devisree Prasad composes music.
