Sonu Sood is the Kisaan

Actor Sonu Sood, who is known largely for portraying negative characters on screen has been approached for the lead actor's role in the past few months.

Recently, in his interviews Sonu Sood revealed that filmmakers feel that the audience will not accept him as the antagonist anymore because of his philanthropic work.

Now, Sonu Sood has been roped in as the lead in Raaj Shaandilyaa's upcoming film titled Kisaan.

The film will be directed by E Niwas.

Producer Raaj Shaandilyaa who had made his debut as director with Dream Girl took to his Twitter handle to announce the project.

Raaj wrote, "Announcing my next Production #Kisaan ...@SonuSood in lead, Directed by ENiwas @Eniwas Produced by Raaj Shaandilyaa...#ThinkinkPicturez"

After the film was announced, Amitabh Bachchan too wished good luck to the team through Twitter.

"All good wishes to film #Kisaan, directed by #ENiwas and acted by @SonuSood," he tweeted.
