Sunny Deol Once Exposed The Dark Side Of Bollywood As He Took A Dig At His Colleagues Not Being Happy About Gadar’s Blockbuster Success: “Only Sanjay Dutt Called, Others Might Have Turned Green With Envy”
Sunny Deol, the renowned Bollywood actor, recently opened up in a candid chat about his experiences and reflections on the monumental success of his film “Gadar.” The movie, which portrayed the love story of Tara Singh, an innocent Sikh man, and Saqeena, during the tumultuous Partition of India, received an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences. As the trailer for “Gadar 2” is set to release, the public’s anticipation for the sequel indicates that the love for Tara Singh’s character remains intact.
The Journey of an Angry Superstar to a Warrior
Sunny Deol first gained fame as an angry superstar with his performance in “Ghayal” in 1990. He continued to carve a niche for himself as a warrior with JP Dutta’s “Border” in 1997. However, “Gadar” marked a distinct departure from his previous roles. It beautifully blended a love story with the backdrop of India’s independence movement, resonating deeply with audiences across the nation.
Disappointment Amidst Success: Sunny Deol’s Industry Experience
Despite the massive success of “Gadar,” Sunny Deol’s professional life remained unaffected. He confessed that even after the film’s triumph, he felt isolated and distant from the industry. This admission revealed his disappointment towards an industry that is often considered welcoming to all. However, the actor hinted at encountering bias and negativity from his colleagues within the industry.
Colleagues’ Reactions: A Glimpse of Envy
In a revealing interview with Filmfare in 2001, Sunny Deol suggested that not everyone in the industry was delighted with the success of “Gadar.” He playfully took a dig at his contemporaries, implying that some of them might have been envious of his achievement. He remarked, “My other colleagues mustn’t have exactly popped champagne bottles on hearing about my success. Many of them must have turned green with envy.”
Sanjay Dutt’s Genuine Congratulations
Among the sea of muted responses, one colleague stood out. Sunny Deol shared that only Sanjay Dutt reached out to congratulate him for the film’s success. Sanjay’s genuine happiness for him touched Sunny deeply, highlighting the mutual admiration they shared. Both actors had experienced similar career trajectories, creating a special bond between them.
Gadar’s Unprecedented Success: A Turning Point in Sunny Deol’s Career
“Gadar” shattered box office records in India and marked a watershed moment in Sunny Deol’s career. It cemented his position as a national hero and transformed him into a true blue superstar in the eyes of the public. Prior to “Gadar,” Sunny was primarily known for his action-packed roles as a tough, justice-seeking protagonist. However, this partition love story showcased his versatility as an actor capable of portraying more emotional and nuanced characters.
The Return of Tara Singh: Hoping for Nostalgia with Gadar 2
After 22 years since “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” Sunny Deol is set to reprise his iconic role as Tara Singh in “Gadar 2.” Audiences eagerly anticipate the return of the innocent yet strong-headed Sikh man who fought relentlessly for his loved ones. The hope is that “Gadar 2” will evoke the same powerful emotions and memories as its predecessor did back in 2001.
