Punjab roared with pride and emotion as its beloved son, Sonu Sood, returned to his homeland to promote his upcoming cybercrime-based action thriller, Fateh. The actor-turned-director began his day at the crack of dawn with a visit to Amritsar’s iconic Golden Temple, seeking blessings for his directorial debut.

Sonu, deeply rooted in his heritage, also indulged in an authentic Punjabi lunch at a local dhaba, savoring the flavors of his homeland.

The day took a patriotic turn as Sonu made his way to the Wagah Border, where he saluted the valor of India’s jawans. While at the border, he visited Check Post 102, the historic partition boundary marking the divide between India and Pakistan.

The crowd present during the ceremony cheered enthusiastically, thrilled to see their homegrown star in such a meaningful setting.

Sonu, alongside soldiers, watched the electrifying Wagah Border parade, before offering a special preview of Fateh. Joining him in this high-octane thriller are Jacqueline Fernandez, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vijay Raaz.

Speaking about his return to Punjab, Sonu Sood shared, “Punjab is my homeland, and stepping into the role of a director, I knew this journey had to begin at the Golden Temple, where my film opens. Growing up here has shaped who I am, and every return fills me with gratitude and pride.

As we prepare to present our film to the audience, seeking blessings at the Golden Temple and witnessing the parade at Wagah Border have been very calming and motivating. The patriotism that this soil instills is a treasure I carry with me every step of the way.”
