At a time when whatever a star does becomes a headline, actor Sunny Deol says Deols don't like to sell themselves and would rather be known for their work.
While many actors remain in limelight all the time, the Deol family keeps their personal life guarded.
"We like to have dignity and like to stick to what we are. We don't like to sell ourselves. Today people are not ashamed of revealing or talking about anything. May be that is the culture or trend of the society today but we will not do it ever," Sunny told PTI in an interview here.
"I should be known for my work and not how I promote myself and what I do. I don't want to be known for bad things in life ever. I should be known for my work. People should love me for my work. And if my work is not good they should kick me out," he said.
Sunny, 56, made his acting debut with Betaab (1983) opposite Amrita Singh. His performance in films like Arjun (1985), Ghayal (1990) and Ghatak(1996) gave him the action hero title.
The actor received national award twice for Ghayal and Damini and gave memorable performances in films like Darr, Border, Gadar, The Hero, Yamla Pagla Deewana and others.
"I think I had a great journey. I have seen quite a lot of things in life. I would not like to change anything. Because every moment of my life has taught me something. The last few years had been tough, everybody has tough times," Sunny said.
"I would say one must just keep working hard and not lose faith. You don't know when destiny is going to come your way, what opportunity comes your way," he said.
Sunny is going slow in his filmi career these days. His last release was Yamla Pagla Deewana in 2011.
Ask him what kept him away from films, the actor says, "I was not getting good subjects that would excite me. Also my health was not good, that was also a reason. The subjects that I was offered did not suit me."
"And if there were subjects that suited me, people were not confident of making a film with me. They thought I won't be viable for the project," he admitted.
Now, Sunny has a few films lined up for release like - 'I Love New Year', Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, Mohalla Assi, Singh Saheb The Great and Ghayal Returns.
"The films which are almost ready for release this year are I Love New Year, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, Mohalla Assi and Singh Saheb The Great," he said.
With changing times when films promotions have taken a centre stage, Sunny feels that reaching out to audience is important today.
"I think promotions are very important but at times we over do it and at times we do it less. But it is very important. Earlier, fans had to search for their favourite actor's upcoming film but now we have to reach out to them," he said.
"Reaching out has become important. As everybody is involved in promotions today, it is necessary to do it in an innovative manner," he added.
But he does feel selling the film on TV has also become important today? "It is important that a film gets sold (TV rights) as it speaks volume about the film. If the movie is not sold, it becomes difficult to earn or make money. We are on the mercy of the buyer. We should not compromise. But that should not be the reason why we make films," he said.
Also, as Rs 100 crore has become a benchmark to measure a film's success, the actor feels it was prevalent even earlier but has got highlighted now.
"Everybody wants success. Today money is the main issue of life and our films are a reflection of what the society, the country is. We are not different. And cinema has been doing the business of Rs 100 crore for years but that is getting noticed today," he said.
"If you evaluate the success of old films it will be more than Rs 100 crore. So I don't think anything has changed," Sunny added.
On “The Front Row” this week, Anupama Chopra talks to actor Sunny Deol about acting dynasties, box-office success and how Bollywood is being taken over by teenagers.
Edited excerpts:
Anupama Chopra: “Yamla Pagla Deewana 2” is the ultimate family film with three generations of Deols working on it, including your son Karan. And I read that the idea for the film came from your wife. What is it like to work with family so closely on a film?
Sunny Deol: You see we live together in a joint family. But actually we are not so much together all the time because Bobby (Deol) is doing something. Dad is doing something. I am out somewhere shooting. Only when we are doing a film is when we are 24-7 together. And that’s the moment which we really cherish because from morning to evening we are together; We have discussed the sequences we are shooting and then in the evening we pack-up and then we walk around the streets of the U.K. going to the restaurants. So to me they are the beautiful times, which you cherish.
Anupama: Dharamji [Dharam Singh Deol ] said in an interview that it is no longer showbiz, it’s showoff biz. Acting today is all about marketing and being a brand. How do you feel about this?
Mr Deol: I think after a film or two I have realized that we have done good cinema but we didn’t achieve what we wanted. There was no fault with the film, it’s our fault. We didn’t do what everybody was doing. It was high time we changed and so now, we are doing everything that is required and my way of doing things is to I enjoy them. So I find a reason why I should enjoy it. I try to find some creative things in it and take it ahead.
Anupama: Sunny you’ve won two national awards. Your father is a Bollywood legend. Between him, you and Bobby, you have approximately 101 years of experience and 405 movies. But when it comes to making a film, how did you opt for a comedy like the “Yamla Pagla Deewana” series? Was box-office the main consideration?
Mr. Deol: I am an entertainer. Cinema is entertainment. It is nothing more than that. I love the cinema. We have done “Yamla Pagla Deewana” before. The characters were so beautiful, they were so bubbly and interesting. The chemistry between Dad, me and my brother was so interesting. The way we were interacting it was so fresh and new. Other films starred big names, but the chemistry which we hold when we do things, it’s far different from what the rest are doing. To me, the box-office is basically the cost of film. If your film costs so much and your box-office is so much and a bit more, you are okay. So, it’s not a figure, 1 billion rupees or 1.5 billion rupees. It’s not that.
The Front Row with Anupama Chopra Anupama Chopra and Sunny Deol on the sets of ‘The Front Row with Anupama Chopra.’ Anupama; Sunny, the industry has changed a lot in the last 30 years. Do you think somewhere the Deols got sidelined or left behind?
Mr. Deol: We were not sidelined or left behind. We just stayed where we wanted to be because we wanted to make cinema our way, on our terms and on our conditions. And a few years back, lots of camps came in and everything started turning into camps. We are no-camping kind of people, so obviously we were left out. My production company wasn’t doing well so we were not producing films. Over a period of time, we have realized that we are going to produce our own films and make cinema that we like. We’ve got so much in-house talent and my kids are going to be coming, so we all decided that we are going to be in films and cinema.
Anupama: Your son Karan will be launched [in the film industry] next year. He is going to come in to a world that is very different from what you started in in 1983. So, what are your biggest concerns for him?
Mr. Deol: Whenever a person enters, at that moment things are different.
Like when I joined the films, that time, teenagers were not the thing. It was all senior actors. A teenager could have never got a foot in. Right now, it’s [all about the] teenager actors and the senior actors are trying to get their footing. There is a lot of competition and a lot of good actors around. I am really fond of Chintu’s son (Ranbir Kapoor). He is really good. He sticks to what he wants to do. He is not interested in six-packs and the stupid things that a lot of newcomer actors are thinking of. I am waiting for Karan to mature and grasp all that he can. When I feel he is really right there, we will launch him and then after that then it is his hard-work, his destiny that is going to take him where and wherever it has to.

A setback for Sunny Deol
Looks like Sunny Deol's plans to 'redefine action' with 'Ghayal Returns', the sequel to the Rajkumar Santoshi-directed 1990 blockbuster, may have to wait a while longer. First, Ashwini Chaudhary was to direct the sequel but following the release of its teaser promo with Salman Khan-starrer Ready, Sunny had a change of heart and asked Rahul Rawail of Arjun fame to helm the project.
While the movie would have marked Rawail's return to Sunny's banner - Vijayta Films after he directed their first production, Betaab, in 1983, it has hit a rocky patch and may not be happening in the near future. Rawail confirmed the news yesterday saying, "You are right. I got a message from the Vijayta Films' office today. Though I am ready with the script, what can I do? They are the producers and this is their decision."
Buzz in the trade is that Vijayta Films has done a rethink on their Ghayal Returns strategy simply because their latest release YamlaPaglaDeewana 2 has garnered a slightly mixed response.
While Sunny refrained from comment, a friend of his called up to say that there was a fallout between Rawail and the actor a couple of days ago, the bone of contention being the film's writers. "The writers chosen by Sunny were not gelling well with Rawail while the writers chosen by Rawail were not up to Sunny's expectations," the friend said, adding: "However, Ghayal Returns not happening for now has nothing to do with YPD2. If need be, Sunny will himself direct the film. This movie is so close to his heart."
So far, Ghayal Returns has been pushed back not only because of the change in director from Chaudhary to Rawail but also because of the delay in finalising its leading lady. Initially, there were reports that Prachi Desai was being considered for the role followed by Bipasha Basu and then Vidya Balan but none of them were finalised.

The top heroines turn me down: Sunny Deol Sunny Deol is seen romancing a much younger Urvashi Rautela in Anil Sharma-directed "Singh Saab The Great" and he says he will continue to work with new talent as established actresses are not keen to work with him. He is also in no
Sunny Deol is seen romancing a much younger Urvashi Rautela in Anil Sharma-directed "Singh Saab The Great" and he says he will continue to work with new talent as established actresses are not keen to work with him. He is also in no mood to mince words about the way the film industry functions nowadays. "About time a film of mine was well-received. I am tired of the long non-happening phase. Unfortunately I haven't had too many releases recently. There are some of my films that are on hold. Hopefully, they'll be released soon. But let me add, I don't need to prove myself. I just need good cinema, the kind of cinema I believe in," said Sunny. Sunny, 57, is seen romancing 19-year-old Urvashi Rautela in the film. Why a co-star half his age? "We are acting. We are not really husband and wife. If she's much younger, that's fine. A lot of wives are much younger than husbands. That's no secret. And by the way, I am sure Urvashi is not 19 year either," said the actor who completes 30 years in filmdom after starting his journey with "Betaab" in 1983. On the way, he has given hits like "Ghayal" and "Damini". The actor, who worked with the likes of Dimple Kapadia and Meenakshi Sheshadri, says that the current lot of established actresses are not keen to work with him. "I've had problems with established heroines. For reasons best known to them, they don't want to work with me. It's a fact. The top heroines turn me down whenever I ask them to work with me. They want to work with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan. So it's fine," said Sunny. "I search for new heroines, like Urvashi Rautela. These girls do not ration dates. While working on a film I don't have to deal with my heroine's tantrums when she's a newcomer. Now if you give an A-lister co-star I won't be able to work with her. Also, I get a chance to give new talent to the film industry. So yeah, I'll be seen with new co-stars in the future. "There are lots of new talented and pretty girls in the industry. And trust me, these new girls won't look mismatched with me. I am open to adapting myself to the changes around me," he added. Sunny plays a Sikh in "Singh Saab The Great" and this is said to be the sixth time he is playing a turbaned character on the screen. Speaking of his affinity to Sardarji roles, he said: "I don't know how it happened. It started with J.P. Dutta's 'Border'. These Sardarji roles offer me powerful characters. 'Singh Saab The Great' may seem old-fashioned to some. I suggest they move out of Mumbai and look at the rest of the country. Har kahaani ka apna rang hota hai." Lately Sunny featured on the small screen to promote his films. "I've to confess, I enjoyed it," he said. Regarding the sorry box office outcome of his last film "Yamla Pagla Deewana 2", Sunny says he had no idea how it would pan out. "Forget what I thought about the film. It's what the audience thought that matters. They rejected the film, and that's that. It may have deserved to flop. But are you trying to tell me that only good deserving films do well? There are so many films that you feel are not working out well and they turn into hits," said Sunny.
- действительно, Урваши вряд ли 19... Да и вместе они во флешбеке, где и Сане, по идее нет сорока. Но выглядит девушка довольно беспомощно, особенно в сцене, где должна вызывать море сочувствия.
- печальное. согласна... но вообще-то, Сане уже бы с дебютантками в ролях дочерей или хотя бы сестер работать... Ему бы уже хорошие по-возрасту роли - да, видимо, это у них равносильно отставке

The heartening response to Anil Sharma's 'Singh Saab The Great' has put a smile back on Sunny Deol's face and the sunshine is again visible in Sunny Deol's career.
Now comes that the long-delayed Sunny Deol rom-com 'I Love NY', directed by the duo Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao whose release has been postponed for a while.
According to a source close to the project, "The producer Bhushan Kumar was waiting to see the outcome of 'Singh Saab The Great'. Now that it has done well enough 'I Love NY' will be released right after Bhushan's wife Divya Khosla Kumar's 'Yaariyan'."
The 'I Love NY' leading lady Kangna Ranaut's career too was on a downslide. But now with 'Krrish 3', she is back on the reckoning, and never mind the disastrous 'Rajjo'.
Relieved and happy, Sunny Deol confirms, "We are looking at an early release of 'I Love NY'. It's a sweet rom-com. The delay has not dated it one bit. And it's a new genre for me."
In the meanwhile, Anil Sharma who directed 'Singh Saab The Great' is jubilant about the film's collection and is planning yet another action film with Sunny Deol in the lead. "I am in Delhi to attend a wedding. Everyone from the hotel receptionist to the guests at the wedding are saying they've seen and liked my film, or they want to see it. It's a good feeling. I'm very happy for Sunny and for myself."
Not willing to shed too much light on his next venture with Sunny, Sharma says, "It's two weeks of complete joblessness for me. Then I get back to working on my next film." ------- пока неизвестно, откуда, на фейсбуке ссылки нет.

Last Friday saw the release of two starkly different films, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (GTPM) and Singh Saab The Great (SSTG). While both films got off to a lesser than expected start, the business at the BO over the weekend wasn't impressive at all. In this edition of Box Office Report Card, we take a look at both the films collections over the Opening Weekend.
Surprisingly as it may sound, Sunny Deol starrer Singh Saab The Great did way better business at the Box Office over the weekend collecting Rs. 18.5 crores. On the other hand, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein had a disastrous Opening Weekend barely managing to collect Rs. 9.50 crores.
With such a vast difference in the collections, one will have to just wait and watch how much Gori Tere Pyaar Mein ends up making by the end of its first week. While it'll be interesting to see if Sunny Deol manages to pull more audiences to the theatres with his action hero image in Singh Saab The Great. http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/box-office/special-features/id/288
Типа "кто бы мог подумать, что Санин фильм привлечет зрителей в кинотеатры..."
