Sunny Deol who is well known for his special bond with his father Dharmendra comes out in praise of the veteran actor yet again. The Gadar actor has shown his affection and respect for his father time and again publicly in various award shows.
Sunny praised Dharam ji and said that he wishes that his father was active as an actor in this era. Speaking with Pinkvilla in an interview he said:
“I have got my idol at home. 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.”
The actor also spoke about the difference in era when father Dharmendra used to work and now, he further was quoted telling the publication:
“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. We have bound 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 deol and Dharmendra have worked in a number of films together such as, Apne, the three parts of Yamla Pagla Deewana and now the father son duo will be seen in the next installment of Apne.
Sunny Deol is also currently gearing up for the sequel of his mega blockbuster movie, Gadar Ek Prem Katha, the second part also features Amisha Patel opposite Sunny and the shooting is currently in the works.
