Sunny Deol recalls finding it difficult to find his rhythm with Sridevi amidst Chaalbaaz
It’s a fact that Sunny Deol is often beheld as a shy person and this is probably one of the reasons why he likes to be an utter professional on film sets.
However, if anyone tried to pull a prank on him, the actor would get agitated. Recalling a similar incident amidst the shoot of his 1989 film Chaalbaaz with Sridevi, Sunny said that he would always be alert of what she was up to when he was on camera.
While speaking at Aap Ki Adalat with Rajat Sharma, he talked about his co-star’s behaviour would bother him sometimes.
Once this happened to him with Sridevi where he decided to not spare her. His one eye would be on his back. What she is doing, he will also do. Because the film was of that genre, and that’s why it didn’t matter if you just get out of your character and do a one-upmanship. Sridevi passed away in 2018.
Sunny shared in the same interview that he saw a few co-actors feeling insecure, which led to them behaving in a strange way on set. He said, “Initially, when he joined the industry, it happened and he used to act but some of our colleagues, he cannot name them behind the camera would do some strange behaviour.
The director would not stop them and then he would get irritated thinking, They would get carried away in one-upmanship and do things which they felt would improve the scene.”
He continued that this insecurity is there in many actors. This ruins the film and he didn’t want to work with such actors.
Sunny had an infamous fallout with Shah Rukh Khan amidst the shooting of 1993 Darr after which the two actors never saw eye to eye.
However, amidst the recent blockbuster release of Sunny’s Gadar 2 in 2023, both actors buried their differences and celebrated the film together.
On the work front, Sunny will next be seen in Aamir Khan’s production Lahore 1947 directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
Aamir’s production house had issued a statement announcing the film. The post read, “he and the entire team at AKP, are most excited and happy to announce their next, starring Sunny Deol, directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi, titled Lahore, 1947. They look forward to collaborating with the immensely talented Sunny and one of favourite directors Raj Santoshi. The journey they have embarked on promises to be most enriching.”
