/> Sunny Deol has been doing a lot of re-thinking. His period of tumult and transition is over.

"I'm much calmer now. I realize doing films isn't enough. Both critics and the masses have to love your work. With our family film Apne I think we've got the formula right. It was the kind of film I wanted to see. So that's the kind of films I'd like to make.

Now we're planning another family film. In Apne we did an emotional film. Now we'd like to a comedy together. In the meanwhile I'm ready to co-direct a film called Man with Neeraj Pathak."

Sunny wants to make realistic films. "But still larger-than-life, to go with my image...I see my career as having many curves. Yes I've made many mistakes, though neglecting my career to look after my brother Bobby isn't one of them.

I've been too trusting and emotional. Even now I trust people around me. But I don't have blind faith. I won't spend money on films with my eyes closed."

Sunny says the mistakes as a producer and an actor have been a learning experience. "Life is the biggest teacher. Today I'm very clear on what I want. All the people creating cinema around me has to be as disciplined as me. Except Bobby, all of us wake up early and get to work."

"So far we've all been just doing our work and letting it speak for us. But when we did Apne we Deols decided that it's time we also spoke for our work."

The Deols have decided to become a self-contained film-producing concern. "We'll be consolidating our company. I'll be directing a film shortly."

Promoting new talent has always been a passion for Sunny. "I like to work with new talent. While my brother Bobby is only interested in being an actor, I've been involved with everything from editing to screen -writing right from the time of my debut film Betaab.

But once they become established these people who start off with me move away to what they consider better prospects. But we Deols will continue to nurture new talent. I've many ideas. And I need talent to implement those ideas."

Eventually Sunny wants his father Dharmendra, his brother Bobby to be part of a one production house. "The world is going global. And for us to do so we need to work as one family. So yes, we Deols want to get together."

Sunny wants Bobby, who has lately become enormously prolific as an actor, to come have the comfort of a home-production at his disposal. "These so-called friends and well-wishers of his who make films with him take him for a ride. But I've understood how these games work.

And I don't want him to go through all this. Why even in Anil Sharma's Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon Bobby didn't get his dues. I was too busy at that time to look into it. By the time I became aware of Bobby's role it was too late."

Sunny has realized, family comes first...and last. "Anil Sharma is planning another film for us. We'll get directors. But we'll produce the films. So we aren't taken for a ride."
