Sunny Deol's next directorial venture, The Man has yet again been delayed! But this it has nothing with Sunny to do with it.

It so happened that, Sunny was shooting in Goa just a few days back and since he at the same time also wanted to update the script of his The Man which he is writing and co-directing with Neeraj Pathak (Apne writer) he called Neeraj to Goa.

But as soon as Neeraj landed in Goa and checked into his hotel room, he caught up with viral fever.

Poor Neeraj Pathak got laid in bed for almost 6-7 days' stay there with very high temperature and physical weakness.

Post a week as he got just a little better, the first thing that Neeraj did was that he caught a flight back to Mumbai. Sunny Deol had no option but keep twiddling his thumbs with zero progress about what he was expecting from Neeraj's trip!

Now though Sunny is back in Mumbai and so is Neeraj, the promotions and subsequent release of his home production Chamku is keeping him very busy. All of this resulting in a further delay to his ambitious venture, The Man.

The film has Shilpa Shetty starring opposite Sunny yet again post Apne.
