Bollywood actor Sonu Sood is all set to play the antagonist in Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited film Simmba. The Dabangg star has already started hitting the gym to beef up for his baddie role.

The Happy New Year actor opened up about portraying the role of a villain in the Ranveer Singh starrer. While talking to PTI, the Singh Is Kingg star said that he was always interested in grey characters as there was more scope of performance.

 Sonu Sood has been appreciated for playing negative roles with perfection in many of his films like R Rajkumar or Dabangg.
