Sunny Deol takes his action man persona far too seriously. The guy sure loves to throw his weight around. On the last leg of the shoot for Raj Kumar Kohli`s Naagin, he demanded more remuneration when all was required of him was to allot a couple of extra hours to complete the film.
What followed was an ugly altercation between the director and the actor. The Jat actor walked out of the sets in a huff and vowed never to return. Sunny has also walked out of Aur Phir Ek Din when the film was about to roll. Wait till you hear more. The actor has put a ban on the press, allotted dates to producers for 2003, threatened photographers with dire consequences if they dared to click him at public functions and has decided not to see any Hindi film since he cannot "sit through most of them."
The actor actually believes that Gadar — Ek Prem Katha was one up on the more widely acclaimed Lagaan. "My film won the verdict of the people," he has said. While no one grudges Sunny the success of Gadar, people do snigger when he dares to compare his film with the Aamir Khan starrer. By the way, just to set the record right, few people who appreciate sensible cinema can "sit through" your starrers either!
