Sunny Deol, known as an action star in Bollywood, is eager to do the role in "Dharam Veer" essayed by his father, veteran actor Dharmendra.

"I want to do a role which is something like the 'Gladiator'. Something very close to what my father did in 'Dharam Veer'. I think if 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' works, producers might listen to me and we can make a film on these grounds, " Sunny told.

Releasing Jan 14, "Yamla Pagla Deewana" will see Dharmendra tickling funny bones of moviegoers with his sons Sunny and Bobby Deol.
