Actor Sonu Sood became a messiah for many after he helped stranded migrants and Covid-19 patients during first and second waves of the pandemic. With such actions, Sonu has managed to create a new image for himself in the society. During a recent chat with ETimes, the actor talked about how he managed to do something in last two years which he couldn't do in 20 years.

He said, "What I could do in the last two years is important by many folds as compared to what I did for the last 20 years as an actor. I am happy that through the pandemic I could touch thousands of souls. The way you can touch many lives by doing action off screen, woh onscreen action karne se nahi hota."

Sonu's image as a philanthropist has also affected his career and he is now being offered positive and influential roles. He told BT, “Filmmakers approaching me are offering me subjects that revolve around social issues or a story line of a common man trying to help the country. Earlier, I have played a villain in my South films but now filmmakers are only offering me positive roles. They are like you have been worshiped and liked by people, and if they show me in a negative light in a film they will have to bear the rage of the audience who now can’t see me in that light.
