But that's not the only reason he has to be happy about. He has just won his fourth award for his role as Pasupathy in the Telugu film, Arundhati at the Lux South Scope Cine Awards on Sunday 19th September. This blockbuster smash hit, released in 2009, has got him the prestigious Nandi Award given by the State Govt of Andhra Pradesh for Best Villain and the Filmfare award for Best Supporting Actor that eluded him for his role as Sujamal in Jodhaa Akbar.
But like all success stories, his too has had a lot of struggle. Having been rejected so many times initially, it was Sonu's mother that kept him motivated through letters and over the phone.
