Hyderabad: Actor Sonu Sood, who is often dubbed as the "messiah of migrants" for his philanthropic work, participated in the Green India Challenge by planting a sapling in the Ramoji Film City here.

The Dabangg actor was given the challenge by film director Srinu Vaitla which he took sportily and was seen planting saplings in the city.

While appreciating the efforts taken up by Rajya Sabha MP Joginapally Santosh Kumar, the 47-year-old actor said that saving the environment is the central priority post-COVID.

He also stated that every person should take part in saving the environment by planting the saplings.

While he has been busy with social work all these months, scripts have been piling up on his table. And interestingly, the roles he is being offered now are mostly larger than life.

But the actor does not really seem to be in a hurry when it comes to movies. He has told his producers to give him some more time so he can concentrate on the charity work.

"Believe me when I say it, the kind of unexplainable satisfaction that I am deriving from helping out people is much larger than the one that may come from being a part of a 100 crore film," Sonu earlier told a newswire.

At present shooting for two movies down south and one with Yashraj -- Prithviraj, for which he will commence shooting next week, Sood is now looking for more empathetic roles.
