Sharing his best wishes for team Kisaan, veteran Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan tweeted, "All good wishes to film #Kisaan, directed by #ENiwas and acted by @SonuSood."

Sonu responded to Big B's tweet with a message that reads: "Thank you so much, sir."

The project was also confirmed by trade analyst Taran Adarsh on Twitter on Monday: "IT'S OFFICIAL... SONU SOOD IN #KISAAN... #SonuSood will head the cast of #Kisaan... Directed by E Niwas... Raaj Shaandilyaa - who made his directorial debut with #DreamGirl - will produce the film... Balance cast will be announced shortly."

Sonu recently launched a book recounting his experience of helping migrant workers during the Covid lockdown. Titled I Am No Messiah, the book is written in the first person, revealing the emotional challenges the actor faced while extending help.

Talking about the book, Sonu had earlier told IANS, "It has turned out to be very special because I never realised that one day, I will do something, on which a book will be written on me, where I can share my experiences, share all the moments where I connected with millions of people across the globe."

He added, "Now, putting everything on paper... my mom, who was a professor, always used to tell me to write about my experiences, whenever you feel they are special because they will stay with you forever. With so many things happening, you tend to forget those experiences, but you can always go back to those pages and revisit those times."
