Sonu Sood is shown in the promotional video working amidst the farmlands of Moga, his hometown.

Sonu has stepped in the footsteps of Rannvijay Singha, who has been associated with the 'Roadies' brand for the past 18 years. The premiere of the new season is slated to take place in March.

According to sources, the producers of the show have chosen to tweak the premise of Roadies a little. Apparently, the gang leader set-up that featured actress Neha Dhupia, television sensation Prince Narula, VJ Nikhil Chinapa and rapper Raftaar in past seasons will no longer be in the show.

Meanwhile, Sonu Sood will be seen in 'Prithviraj,' a historical epic action drama directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi and Koratala Siva's 'Acharya.' With 'Fateh,' he will also make his directorial debut in an action-packed thriller.
