Sonu Sood reacts to similarities between Fateh, Animal action sequences. Sonu Sood who is known for his action packed roles is coming to entertain with his upcoming action thriller Fateh. It marks Sonu Sood's directorial debut. The film is slated for a grand release on 10 Jan 2025.
The film stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, Naseeruddin Shah in important roles. Now Sonu Sood answered the question about the similarities between Fateh and Animal action sequences comparisons. He shared “I loved the action in Animal. Ranbir did very well.” and added The problem was, we hired around 70–80 fighters for about three major action sequences,” Sood revealed, adding, “In a single shot, we show 70 people getting killed by my character. Now, we didn’t have enough people for the remaining action sequences. Because we had already shown the faces of the fighters earlier, we decided to cast them again with masks.”
Elaborating further,he said “We considered the possibility of people thinking this looks like Animal, but it was a technical necessity. The fighters were brought in from Mexico and South Africa, and it wasn’t feasible to replace them immediately. Recycling the same fighters was the most practical solution.”
On gory scenes, Sonu shared “Gore is what people enjoy these days,” he said. “But it should be done stylishly, backed by technical brilliance, and grounded in reality. Our idea was to shoot it in a way that feels innovative and fresh.”
