EXCLUSIVE: Sunny Deol opens up on father Dharmendra’s stardom: ‘He is only actor to succeed in all genres’
'Be it Satyakam, Chupke Chupke, Sholay, Pratigya, Phool Aur Phattar or Anupama – he has done it all. I wish I was an active actor in his era', says Sunny Deol as he gears up for the release of Chup
Sunny Deol is among the most celebrated actors of Hindi cinema, having delivered some iconic blockbusters through his journey in the industry. The actor considers father, Dharmendra, to be his biggest idol and this comes without any bias. “I have got my idol at home,” smiles Sunny in an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla. He further adds, “He is the only actor to succeed in all genres of cinema and he has never shied away from exploring different roles. Be it Satyakam, Chupke Chupke, Sholay, Pratigya, Phool Aur Phattar or Anupama – he has done it all. I wish I was an active actor in his era.”
Sunny believes that the writers and directors had a strong grip over emotions back in the day and that is missing in today’s time and age. “My dad used to shoot for many films in a day - from one set to the other. Imagine, how good the writer and directors were, that the actor could stick to their characters. They had no written scripts, it was just based on narrations,” he avers, adding further, “We have bind scripts in today’s time, but they are not close to what was done back in the day. I always keep thinking… I wish I was in that era.”
Sunny is gearing up for the theatrical release of Chup, which co-stars Dulquer Salmaan in lead. The R Balki directorial is set for a release on September 23. His co-star, Dulquer points out that it’s incredible how his father is so active on social media to which Sunny replies, “Yes, he is very active on social media. He enjoys himself and loves the platform. He interacts with everyone, keeps replying to the messages, keeps wishing everyone and showers blessings on people.”
Stay tuned to Pinkvilla as the full video interview with Sunny Deol and Dulquer Salmaan goes live soon.
