I am trying to write a bash script which will switch to user and execute a program. But I am not able to execute the program after switching. This is the script I wrote
#!/bin/bash
sudo su
/opt/genymobile/genymotion/genymotion
echo "hi"
bash root

sudo su gives you a new shell. while this shell is running other command are not executed. try this:
#!/bin/bash
sudo su -c '/opt/genymobile/genymotion/genymotion ; echo "hi"'

If your script does something that requires root access the system will already check for the permissions and block access.
You can just check for the current user and abort:
if [ ! `id -u` = 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: This script must be run as the root user"
fi
