The teaser starts with Sonu in his casual look. As Smita asks her, “You knew you were working with Salman, so the picture focused on him. Does ego ever get to you?” “Mera ek criteria rehta tha ki thik hai aapke mere se…21 role ho sakta hai. Par mai bhi 19 role toh Lekar jaunga hi jaunga (I had only one criterion that you can have more scenes than me but I will also give my best and get the remaining scenes).

The actor went on to talk about writing scenes for Dabangg. “Dabangg ke Maine Bohot island scenes likhe aur maine character ko badla tha. Pehle woh bohot hi ekdum arrogant, aur ekdum faad dunga, jaan le lunga, aisa type ka character tha. Toh mujhe woh acha Nahi laga toh fame isiliye Dabangg ko bhi Mana kar Diya tha…toh fir fame faith Thora for comic banaya, character ko, Cheddi Singh ko…thora sa…Ek photographer sath me rakhte hai…Ek bhaiya ji smile type ka character rakha fir woh, Baat karne ka uska rakha…Toh usko light banaya character ko (I have written many scenes in Dabangg and changed my character. He used to be a very arrogant and aggressive character which I didn’t like and that’s why I dropped Dabangg. Later I made the character a bit comical and light” , Sonu added.

Sonu is also asked about the allegations of BJP “finishing him” referring to his philanthropic activities.
