Desperately want a film of mine to be successful: Sunny Deol

November 19th, 2013.

After the record-breaking success of Gadar - Ek Prem Katha way back in the year 2001, veteran actor Sunny Deol has featured in more than 20 films. Unfortunately, only 3 films have done reasonably well at the box office - Indian (2001), Apne (2007) and Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011).

His only release this year, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, failed to excite the audience. Now, with his latest film, Singh Saab The Great all set to hit screens this weekend, the 57-year-old actor says he is desperate for the film to do well.

"At the moment I desperately want a film of mine to be successful. If this film is successful, then I have some lovely things lined up, which I want to do."

"I am the kind of person who wants honesty. If my film is bad, I don't want it to be successful. But if it were good then I'd definitely want it to be successful. That's the way I am."

Sunny also slammed the critics and asked the audience to watch the trailer and decide for themselves whether they want to watch a film or not.

"Loads of money and time is spent on a film and we wait for that one Friday and then we have some critics who criticise it, others praise it. Millions and millions of people follow critics, which is so stupid. I have never gone to see a film because a critic praised it. I always watch a film because I liked the trailer."

Directed by Anil Sharma, Singh Saab The Great releases in theatres on November 22nd with Dharma Productions' Gori Tere Pyaar Mein.

Last I ever liked a movie of his was Gadar and Dillagi.
I like his honesty, though. All the best to him!

Well, first of all, its 4...Hero was the third biggest grosser of 2003.

Box Office 2003
Rank Film Opening Note Nett Gross Gross Distributor Share Verdict
1 Koi Mil Gaya Bumper 42,50,00,000 68,00,00,000 30,00,00,000 Blockbuster
2 Kal Ho Na Ho Good 35,00,00,000 50,75,00,000 23,50,00,000 Hit
3 The Hero Good 24,50,00,000 39,00,00,000 18,00,00,000 Average
4 Baghban Below Average 22,50,00,000 32,50,00,000 15,25,00,000 Hit
5 Munnabhai MBBS Average 21,25,00,000 30,75,00,000 14,00,00,000 Hit


Secondly, if SSTG doesn't work, its time Sunny Deol moves onto character roles like Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor. He would really shine in them because of his powerful persona. Imagine Sunny Deol as the villian of Dabangg 3. I would pay good money to watch a face off between Salman and Sunny. Even Bachchan had to do it at this age. SSTG is the last stand.

Anil Sharma had his share of hits and misses. SSTG's success is as important to him as it is to Deol.

Poor guy! I'd suggest Sunny to team up with SRK and do a supporting hero in a SRK film. He will have a successful film.😈

Only if Deepika/Laxmi is the heroine or else SRK's movies are also average grossers.😈😆😆

Awww...😆 It would kill his ego, doesn't he still hate Shahrukh for what happened with Darr?

Then HNY is the best bet for him. It has SRK and his daughter Laxmi Maa...plus they are adding supporting actors at an alarming rate. 😆
