Mumbai, April 02: Budding actor Sonu Sood, who won accolades for his performance as the rebellious yet gentlemanly Soojamal in `Jodhaa Akbar`, says he wants to take on untried roles.
`I want to enact experimental roles and be a versatile actor. Action, comedy, romantic, all is welcome...I enjoy doing them all,` Sonu, who is also a qualified electrical engineer, told reporters here.
`And I am extremely lucky because my upcoming projects give me a chance to fully exploit my acting skills,` he added.
The actor`s new films include UTV`s comedy `Dhoondte Rehe Jaoge`. In the film, the actor will share screen space with Soha Ali Khan, Paresh Rawal and Kunal Khemmu.
He will also tickle the funny bones of audiences in Vipul Shah`s `Singh Is King` where he plays the role of King. The film also stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. And in Sooraj Barjatya`s `Ek Vivah Aisi Bhi`, Sonu will get into the skin of the production house`s favourite character Prem.
Speaking about his experience in `Jodhaa Akbar`, he said: `Working with Ashutosh Gowariker was like a dream come true. It was a great learning experience. I couldn`t have asked for more and I am looking forward to working with the whole team again.`
He played Soojamal, a favourite brother of princess Jodhaa, essayed by Aishwarya Rai in the film.
Reminiscing his days of struggle, the newcomer said he couldn`t have made it to the silver screen without his family`s support.
`I always wanted to be an actor and after completing my engineering degree I went home (Punjab) and told my parents that I want to try my luck in films. Without any resistance they accepted my decision.
`I am blessed to have parents who believe in me and give me their unrelenting support. However, it doesn`t mean that I haven`t had my share of struggle. I still remember travelling in DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation) buses for work, trying to arrange money.`
