Earlier, the actor had announced arrival of his autobiography ‘I Am No Messiah’ under the publication banner of Penguin Random House, India. The book is co-written by Meena Iyer.
“People have been very kind and have lovingly named me Messiah. But I really do believe that I am no Messiah. I simply do what my heart tells me to. It is our responsibility as human beings to be compassionate and help each other,” Mr Sood said.
