Suneel Darshan and Sunny Deol

The renowned producer-director Suneel Darshan has been absent from the movie business recently. But now that he has levelled some serious accusations against veteran actor Sunny Deol, the filmmaker is in the news. Suneel Darshan asserted that Sunny Deol cheated him by never returning the signing fee for a movie in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama.

The actor and director had a major fallout on the sets of the 1996-released film Ajay, which reportedly stemmed from their creative differences. Sunny Deol walked out of the sets following a heated argument with Suneel Darshan and never returned, leaving the film incomplete. The actor later refused to shoot the climax of the film, and the filmmaker was forced to release it without an ending. This eventually led to a 25-years-long legal battle between the duo. 

Talking to Bollywood Hungama, "Sunny Deol was working with his brother Bobby Deol and did three movies with him back-to-back. Sunny promised to return the money, then said he had no money and said he would make a film for me. The matter was put before a retired Chief Justice of India named Justice Bharucha. Sunny said he didn't have the liquidity to return my amount and agreed to do a film instead. I had no grudges against him, but he fooled me.

Suneel Darshan claims that Sunny Deol continued to push back the release of their movie until the time frame specified in their contract had passed. After then, the actor received a notice from the filmmaker's legal team. The response from Sunny Deol's crew was that the actor did not approve of the dialogue in the movie. This ultimately resulted in the pair's 25-year legal dispute.
