Sonu Sood is one of those actors who has acted in Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu and Tamil films. He has showed his acting prowess in movies like ‘Dabangg’, ‘Singh Is Kinng’ and many more. Also we saw a different side of Sonu in the Chinese action-adventure comedy film ‘Kung-Fu Yoga’ that starred Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan.
We have never heard of Sonu getting embroiled in controversies for his movies. But his recent exit from ‘Manikarnika-The Queen Of Jhansi’ has added fuel to the controversies revolving around the movie. 
A source close to filmymantra.com revealed, “Sonu who is currently working on Rohit Shetty’s Simmba, was recently asked to reshoot portions for Manikarnika by co-star Kangana Ranaut. With a change in the team, the script and the roles too have undergone changes at the very last minute. Sonu who is currently sporting a beard for Simmba, has been asked to clean shave for his role in Manikarnika. While the actor was open to shooting a few scenes for the film and work around the clock to accommodate this request, he suggested filming the portions that required him to be clean shaved post his Simmba schedule”.
“Sonu has always been very committed to all his projects and does what is required for his films. He could not accommodate the new dates and redo his look for Manikarnika, as he wasn’t informed about it earlier. While he does understand the issues the makers of Manikarnika are facing, it would be unacceptable for any actor to reshoot portions and new scenes, owing to a change in director, the script and the role at the very last minute,” added the source.
The actor’s spokesperson said, “Sonu has always been a thorough professional and honoured all his commitments. He had informed the makers of Manikarnika about his dates and schedule well in advance. Inconveniencing the team of his current film, to accommodate the demands of another are against his professional principles. Sonu has taken the higher road ahead and wishes the team of Manikarnika all the best.”
