Difficult to accept Jackie Chan in negative role: Sonu Sood

Mumbai Nov 7 (IANS) Actor Sonu Sood says it will be difficult to accept his "Kung Fu Yoga" co-star Jackie Chan as an antagonist because he is very cute.

"We have always seen Jackie Chan play the good guy. He is a great actor and I am sure he will play the role of the antagonist with full conviction. But he is so cute that it is difficult for us to accept him in a negative role " Sonu said in a statement.

Sonu otherwise believes that Chan can play any part.

" Kung Fu Yoga was a great experience especially working with Jackie Chan whose films I have grown up watching. He is a very humble guy and focused. Working with him was a life changing experience for me " he said.

Sonu says language wasn t a barrier working with Chan as most of his "dialogues were in English" in "Kung Fu Yoga" to be aired on &pictures on Friday.

He says Chan was impressed by his diet.

"Both Jackie Chan and me are into fitness but I keep a strong check on my diet which impressed Jackie. He said After seeing you I realized that Indians are so fit and very particular about their diet. After meeting you my whole perception towards Indian fitness has changed " he said.

Sonu says if he could play a part from any of Chan s films over the years it would be "Police Story" and "Who Am I".

What s next for Sonu?

"I have been shooting for the past one month in Ladakh for J.P. Dutta s film Paltan . It s a great action movie and I am enjoying it here. I am also shooting for a film called Manikarnika along with Kangana Ranaut. Then I have two home productions lined up -- one is a biopic on P.V. Sindhu and the other film is based in Uttar Pradesh " he said.
