Sunny Deol, the renowned actor, finds himself embroiled in controversy. Accusations of cheating and forgery are filed against him by film producers. These allegations came in the wake of the success of his recent film, Gadar 2. Thus adding to the intensity of the storm surrounding him.
Producer Sorav Gupta’s Claims Against Sunny
Film producer Sorav Gupta, in a press conference, accuses Sunny Deol of dishonouring multiple film commitments after receiving advance payments. Gupta reveals that he signed a deal with Deol in 2016 for a film, providing an advance of ₹1 crore, but Sunny diverted his attention to another project. Gupta alleged that Deol continued to demand more money, accumulating a significant sum, without fulfilling his obligations.
Support from Filmmaker Suneel Darshan
Filmmaker Suneel Darshan joins Gupta in alleging misconduct by Sunny Deol. Darshan claims that Deol failed to fulfil payment obligations for overseas distribution rights of his film, Ajay (1996), and later requested further financial assistance for a new project. Darshan’s account aligns with Gupta’s, painting a concerning picture of Sunny’s business practices within the film industry.
Industry Source Confirms Pattern
An industry source corroborates Gupta and Darshan’s allegations, revealing Deol’s history of reneging on commitments with multiple producers. Deol’s behaviour, according to the source, has caused significant disruptions and financial losses to those involved in various film projects.
Despite the success of Gadar 2, Deol’s actions continue to draw scrutiny and condemnation from within the industry.
An atmosphere of uncertainty pervades as Sunny Deol remains elusive, offering no response to the allegations levelled against him. With legal actions underway and mounting pressure from industry peers and affected parties, the spotlight intensifies on Deol’s conduct and accountability.
As the saga unfolds, the repercussions of these accusations may not only impact Deol’s professional reputation but also reverberate throughout the Bollywood landscape, highlighting the importance of integrity and transparency in all business dealings within the entertainment industry.
