Sonu who played Cheddi Singh in the film unveiled several layers of his life in a podcast with Smita Prakash.

When she asked him, ¡°You knew that you were working with Salman hence the frame was focused on him. Did ego ever get you?¡± To which Sonu replied, ¡°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 only had one criteri on that you might have more scenes than me, but I too will give my best and have the rest of the scenes)."

Sood further revealed, ¡°Dabangg ke maine bahut saare scenes likhe. Aur maine character ko badla tha. Pehle voh bahut hi arrogant aur ekdum faad dunga, jaan le lunga, aise type ka character tha. Toh mujhe voh acha nahi laga toh maine isliye Dabangg ko bhi mana kar dia tha (I wrote a lot of scenes of Dabangg. I changed the character a bit. Earlier, he was brash and arrogant which I did not like. So I refused Dabangg then).¡±
