Sunny Deol on Hindi producers: "Har aadmi director bann na chahta hai, ye sab band ho jaaye toh yaha bhi....."

The much-anticipated trailer of Sunny Deol’s action-packed film Jaat has finally been released, creating a wave of excitement among fans. During the trailer launch event, Sunny Deol shared his thoughts on the producers of South and how Bollywood should learn from them.

He said,

"Our producers have been so, so, so good. I really want to say that Bombay ke producers inse seekhe. This industry is addressed as 'Bollywood'; aap Hindi cinema banao isko pehle! They should learn how cinema is actually made (from them). They make films with love. They enjoy the subject; they hire a director and trust him completely. After all, the biggest hero is the story. And it's the director who'll get the story on celluloid. The producers trust the director so much that woh kisi cheez ki kasar nahin chhodta."

He further added,

"I am working in Hyderabad, the producers there believe in everything and gives complete freedom to the director, who doesn't misuse it but they do it because that want that particular scene to reach the audience. Its not like time hogaya, kya kar rahe ho, isko kaat do, ye scene hata do' and things like that, har aadmi director ban jaata hai , so ye sab cheeze band hojaygi toh yaha pe bhi achi filmein banegi."

At another point, Sunny Deol remarked, sometimes, we tend to forget (our roots). Since we live in cities, we tend to get influenced by foreign content aur desh ko thoda peechhe chhod dete hain (laughs). South films always retain the essence of our country. And when it gets associated with Hindi cinema, then the result is huge and these films achieve Pan-India success. Everyone relates to it. We should resume the same in Hindi films. We should go back to our roots, the way we did in my earlier films like Ghatak, Damini, Arjun, etc.

Alongside Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda, the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Vineet Kumar Singh, Saiyami Kher, and Regina Cassandra in significant roles.

Directed by Gopichand Malineni, who has delivered multiple Telugu hits such as Krack, Veera Simha Reddy, and Bodyguard, Jaat marks his much-awaited Hindi debut. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the production house known for its blockbuster projects, the film carries high expectations. Scheduled for a grand theatrical release on April 10, 2025, Jaat is set to offer a larger-than-life cinematic experience.
