Director Harry Baweja is upset with Sunny Deol for refusing to acknowledge that he is playing a full-fledged role in his upcoming film "Teesri Aankh".

Says Baweja: "He issued a statement in the media that I was misleading the audience. In essence, he is the one who is trying to mislead the audience. He is the hero of my film.

"Though the agreement mentions that he is playing a guest appearance but I worked with him for 19 days during which I managed to get 30 days' work from him. It took six and a half years and a lot of mental torture before I got those 19 days from him."

In the film, Sunny plays the role of a crusader who busts a mobile camera scandal.

According to Baweja, he signed Sunny almost seven years ago for a film he was planning to make and even paid him a huge signing amount, after which the actor promised him immediate dates.

However, the dates never seemed to materialise.

"He kept dodging the dates. He would promise me dates after six months and then back out. Finally good sense prevailed and he decided to give me dates.

"Now that he has finished work on the film, I am free to voice my grievances. In fact he is the sole reason why I have directed only two films in these seven years," says an angry Baweja.
