New Delhi: Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who emerged as a messiah for the migrant workers during last year’s COVID-induced lockdown, will meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday (August 27). The ‘Dabangg’ actor will meet Kejriwal tomorrow amid rumours of his entry in politics, according to ANI. This comes soon after Maharashtra Congress charted out strategy where it recommended that the party should project actors Sonu Sood, Riteish Deshmukh or model Milind Soman as its mayoral candidate.

Before his reported meeting with Delhi CM, Sood had also met Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in April this year. Punjab government has even appointed the actor as the brand ambassador of the Covid-19 vaccination drive in the state.

Sonu Sood, who is quite active on social media, has remained tight-lipped about his meeting with Delhi CM at the national capital. 

Sonu Sood Denies Reports Of His Political Debut 

The ‘Simmba’ actor took to Twitter to squash the rumours, which suggested that he would take the electoral plunge soon. Speculations were rife that the Mumbai Congress is considering his name as a candidate for mayor's post in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections 2022. 

Sonu clarified that he has no plans of entering the political sphere. He tweeted, “Not true. I am happy as a common man.”  

When Arvind Kejriwal Lauded Sonu Sood's Efforts

Sonu Sood has been working around the clock to help the people, who have been severely affected by the Covid-19 crisis. From providing medical assistance to arranging funds for treatment, the actor has extended support to the needy. Netizens have lauded Sood for his humanitarian work.  

Last month, AAP Leader Arvind Kejriwal had praised Sonu for his 'selfless' service towards mankind. "Happy Birthday @SonuSood. Hope you continue your efforts to help mankind and  inspire millions with your spirit of selfless service," Delhi CM tweeted while wishing Sood on his birthday.

Sonu Sood’s Upcoming Films 

On the professional front, the B-town star will be next seen in YRF's ‘Prithviraj’. The period drama co-starring Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chillar is slated to hit the silver screens on November 5, 2021. If things go as planned, the film will clash with Shahid Kapoor's 'Jersey' at the box office.
