"I did not speak to Shahrukh Khan for 16 years after that tiff on Darr sets", reveals Sunny Deol

Sunny Deol, Shah Rukh Khan, and Juhi Chawla’s Darr is one of the most evergreen films of Bollywood. A psychological thriller, the film gave some memorable songs such as Jaadu Teri Nazar and Tu Mere Saamne and also is known for SRK’s brilliant performance as an obsessed lover. 

However, not much is known about the tussle between Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh that occurred during the shooting of Darr. In an earlier press interaction, he had said that he was never told that Shah Rukh’s character - an obsessive stalker - would be glorified in the film.

Ever since that tiff, Sunny refrained from working in a film starring Shah Rukh. He also admitted that he did not speak to the latter for 16 long years! In fact, he never worked with Yash Raj Films again.

In the latest episode of Rajat Sharma- hosted talk show Aap Ki Adalat, Sunny recalled the incident and on being asked if everyone on the sets of Darr was scared of him, Sunny laughed and said, “I guess, they must be scared because they were wrong.”

Sunny said, “At the end of the day, people loved me in the film. They loved Shah Rukh Khan as well. My only issue with the film was that I did not know they would glorify the villain. I always work in films with an open heart and believe the person. I believe working with trust. Unfortunately, we have many actors and stars who don’t function in this manner. Maybe that’s the way they want to get their stardom.”

Sunny felt cheated by the makers and he had told Filmfare in an interview then, “I’ll never work with Yash Chopra again. He isn’t a man of his words. I don’t have good memories about him, he betrayed my faith in him.”
