People worship Sonu Sood as 'Corona Fighter King' in Bhubaneswar

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has offered monetary and logistical assistance to hundred of people who were trying to return to their homes after the lockdown restrictions were eased.

However, a group of people in Odisha have gone a step ahead and worshipped a poster of the actor in Bhubaneswar, which hails Sonu Sood as ‘Corona Fighter King’.

In a video that has now been shared widely on social media, a group of people are seen decorating the area around the poster with flowers and a rangoli.

They also decorated posters of Odia actor Sabyasachi Mishra and actor Rani Panda that were next to Sonu Sood’s poster.
