15 days ago | 5 Views
Actors Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan experienced a rift following their collaboration in the 1993 film Darr, resulting in a period of silence between them. Nevertheless, three decades later, Sunny has reached out, indicating his wish to collaborate with Shah Rukh once again on screen.
Is Sunny ready to work with Shah Rukh?
During Pinkvilla's Masterclass, Sunny expressed his desire to reunite with Shah Rukh when he was asked with whom he would like to do a two-hero film. Sunny noted that the film industry has changed, and directors no longer have the same level of control over character arcs, making it a good time for a potential collaboration.
Sunny said, “Aise decide karna kiske saath karunga nahi (To decide like this with whom I’d do it or not)… I mean, I would love to do it. I think anyone who is… Shah Rukh ke saath ek hi film ki thi. Toh ek aur kar sakte hain (I did only one film with Shah Rukh. So we can do another). It would be nice because that was a different period, and now it’s a different period, so definitely”.
Sunny added, “Pehle humare directors had control over the whole thing. Aaj kal humare directors ke paas itna control nahi hai aur kahaniyaan waisi ban bhi nahi rahi hain, which will justify the images of the actors. Woh bahut zaruri hai (Earlier, our directors had control over the whole thing. Today our directors don't have that much control, and the stories are not being made in a way that would justify the images of the actors. That is very important).”
What do we know about Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol’s feaud?
Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan reportedly experienced a rift following the release of their 1993 film Darr, where Shah Rukh's antagonist was depicted in a more favorable light. Sunny expressed his dissatisfaction with the glorification of Shah Rukh's stalker character, feeling that he, as the true 'hero,' was overshadowed. It is said that the two actors did not communicate for 16 years. During a segment on Aap Ki Adalat, Sunny remarked, “Ultimately, the audience appreciated my role in the film, as well as Shah Rukh Khan's. My primary concern was the unexpected elevation of the villain's character. I approach my work in films with sincerity and trust, believing in my collaborators. Regrettably, there are numerous actors and stars who do not share this approach, perhaps believing it to be a path to achieving fame.”
