Paltan: Twitterati Compares Sonu Sood to PM Narendra Modi Thanks to The Movie's Latest Poster - Here's Why

On Independence Day, several Bollywood movies took the opportunity to reveal new trailers and posters that had their actors wish their fans on the special day. One such movie was Paltan. This gesture was expected from the team, since it is a war drama and therefore rides high on patriotism. Paltan is directed by JP Dutta, known for making war-based films like Border and LOC - Kargil. The movie is based on the 1967 Nathu La and Cho La clashes along the Sikkim border after 1962 Indo-China War.

On August 15, the makers revealed a special poster of Paltan that had most of its male lead stars (Save for Jackie Shroff) shown saluting the national flag. So we had Arjun Rampal, Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Choudhary, Harshvardhan Rane, Luv Sinha and Siddhant Kapoor looking at the flag and saluting it. Or so it seems! For there was one man who was standing odd man out! Look closely!

More closely...

Even more closely...

Only Sonu Sood seems to find the camera more fascinating than the flag it seems!

Some of the Twitter users were quick to compare the actor with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, whose love for the camera, has been the subject of many jokes on social media. Check out some of the tweets below -

Sonu Sood is playing Modiji?

Big fan for sure!

Someone call the exorcist!

Offered without comments

In case you are not aware of the comparison, here are some of the old tweets, where PM Modi's love for the shutterbug has been chronicled!

Looks like Modiji found another big fan in a Bollywood star, after Kangana Ranaut. Or maybe they just share a common admiration of giving their good side to the camera!
