- Sunny Deol highlighted Bollywood camp culture and career struggles.
- Sunny turned producer after rejection from big production houses.
- Sunny is set to star in Border 2, with JP Dutta.
Despite being the son of legendary actor Dharmendra, Sunny Deol revealed facing significant hurdles in his career due to Bollywood’s camp culture.
In a recent interview with SCREEN, Sunny candidly shared, “The reality of life is that there are camps everywhere. Camps usually go with the people who are part of them and who will do chamchagiri (sycophancy) for one another.
He added, “Somehow, people who are very upfront… We are Jats, you know. Toh kuch bhi jo karte hain toh hum log darte nahin, hum karte hain. Aur hum sharmaate nahin kisi cheez se, sachche hain (Whatever we do, we are not afraid, we do it. And we are not ashamed of anything, we are honest). So people don’t like that.”
Sunny also spoke about his decision to turn producer after facing rejection from big production houses. “In the latter half of my dad’s career, in the ’80s and ’90s, many big houses didn’t work with him. I didn’t have any house working with me either.
He continued, “So, I became a producer to bring in films… Lekin jab tak koi nahi aata, toh aap kuchh nahi kar sakte hai, aapko ladte hi rehna pata hai (But until someone comes, you can’t do anything, you have to keep fighting).”
Sunny Deol is set to star in Border 2, with JP Dutta serving as producer. The film also features Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. Additionally, Sunny will headline the action film Jaat.
