“I’ve admired Sanjay sir since my childhood,” Sunny expressed. “Watching him on screen growing up, I never missed any of his songs or movies. In fact, I even tried to dress like him—his style, hair, walk—they all inspired me. To finally work with him feels surreal.”
A Long-Awaited Collaboration Finally Materializes
Sunny Singh portrays the character Shantanu in The Bhootnii, a key role in what promises to be a genre-bending horror-comedy. Reflecting on their collaboration, he revealed that this project had been years in the making.
“We had planned to work on a film together long ago, but things didn’t fall into place back then,” Sunny said. “However, after the lockdown, we reconnected and decided to work on The Bhootnii. It turned out to be an enriching experience. Sanjay sir is someone I still reach out to for advice and discussions, even off set.”
Sunny emphasized how Sanjay Dutt’s presence on set was not just inspirational, but also educational. “There’s so much to learn from him. His aura, discipline, and craft are things every actor can grow from. I feel lucky to have shared screen space with him.”
