Sunil had his own style and was good in action films and was huge in small towns and B centres due to action films.
Some of his films like Vinashak, Rakshak, Gopi Kishen are still damn popular on TV.
He was also fit and his films had good songs. His weak dialogue delivery somehow became his USP and people mimic the way he speaks.
Today's guys are weirdos and I hate their wannabe antics like nude shoots or selling personal life or behaving like TV serials actors like Ayushmann or trying to appropriate LGBTQIA identities by cross dressing or wearing nail paint as cis het actors. Like STFU and stop appropriating other identities. And no one wants to believe you are feminist or queer ally or some youth icon.
I just hate the trope of overgrown manchild done to death since last 2 decades now.
Where are unique voices or styles? Where is intense Akshaye of Taal, DCH? Where is happy go lucky Saif of DCH, HSSH? Where is rugged intense Jackie Shroff of Rangeela, Parinda? Where is hulk like Sunny Deol? Where is even a message guy like Aamir of Lagaan, TZP, 3I? Where is charming family man like SRK in DDLJ, KKHH, K3G? Where is mischievous charmer like Salman in HDDCS, PKTDK, HDJPK, CCTC etc? Where is an actor whi can do both Dil and Sarfarosh, Veergati and HDDCS, Darr and KKHH, Ghayal and Betaab?
I was watching an interview of late Raaj Kumar and I was mesmerised by his speech, command over language, posture, gait and persona. Today there is not a single actor who even sounds man enough or speaks any language clearly or properly with correct pronunciation.
Nor is there any solid character actor like Danny, Amrish Kader Khan, Aloknath, Reema Lagoo, AK Hangal, Prem Chopra etc. Remove Anupam Kher, Kirron, Naseer, Neena and we have even more emptiness in today's lot.
