Sunny Deol’s Past Failures at the Box Office before Gadar 2 Released

During this interview with Komal Nahta, the host asked the guest Sunny Deol about his phase before Gadar 2 when a lot of his films did not do too well while the actor did a lot less movies than usual and did he face any insecurity during that phase.

To this question, Deol replied, “As for my journey, I keep joking around that my career shut down after Gadar and Gadar 2 resumed my career again.” The actor added, “I have always been very passionate about my films and my work. My priority is always the film’s story and the rest of the characters rather than just mine.”

How Sunny Deol Made His Blockbuster Comeback

The actor also explained how somewhere in between, he had taken himself for granted and stepped into several things at once like direction, production, etc. “To fulfill those additional responsibilities, he got lost somewhere. I was also not getting the directors and the stories which could match my sensibilities but I tried going different ways and never gave up.”, the actor explained.

Sunny Deol was also asked whether he had ever thought he would make such a huge comeback to which he replied, “When I made a film with my son, I decided that this is the end of it and I want to be an actor again. Later, I fortunately got Gadar 2.”
