Sunny's last release was 'Jo Bole So Nihal' which was embroiled into controversy for allegedly hurting Sikh
sentiments and bomb blasts in Delhi theatres which were screening the movie.
''Every body knows I was unwell and hence I had to take a sabbatical. But, now I want to work and work.
Every year, I should have three to five releases,'' Sunny said while interacting with the media here on
Saturday evening.
Tolu Bajaj's 'Naksha' directed by Bajaj's son debutant Sachin releases on September eight. The film stars -
Jackie Shroff, Vivek Oberoi and Sameera Reddy besides Sunny.
His next release include, 'Kafila', 'Devdhar Gandhi', 'Fool and Final' and his home production 'Apne'. ''Most of
my films were delayed due to my ill health. But, now all the problems have been sorted out and all the films
will be released by this year,'' he added.
Sunny said he was on scripts for his directorial venture and would make a final announcement in the middle
or end of next year.
Sunny's first directorial movie was 'Dillagi.' He said he was also working on co-productions in which the
finances will be handled by the other company while he would look after the creative aspect.
''I am a bad funds manager,'' he said and added that talks are in final stages with K Sera Sera
banner.
Referring to 'Naksha', Sunny said the movie was an adventure film with light comedy and action. To a
question on whether there was a deliberate attempt to shift from his action image, Sunny said that was not
the case. ''Even Fool and Final directed by Ahmed Khan is a fun film. I want to focus on good meaningful
and entertaining cinema,'' he added.
Sunny said the script and idea of 'Naksha' appealed to him. ''I am fond of working with young directors
because of their honesty.
But, when they become successful and carve a niche for themselves, there is change in their attitude,'' told
Sunny.
