Film producer Sorav Gupta has levelled certain shocking allegations against actor Sunny Deol. Recently, the producer attended a press conference when he accused the Gadar 2 actor of cheating, extortion and forgery. Gupta claimed that Deol took Rs 4 crore from him in advance for a film in 2016 but never did the movie.
What Did Film Producer Sorav Gupta Alleged Against Sunny Deol?
“We gave him ₹1cr in advance but instead of starting my film, he opted to shoot for Poster Boys (2017) instead. He kept asking me for more money and by now my ₹2.55cr is in Sunny ji’s account. He also made me give money to another director, book Filmistaan studio and get an executive producer,” Gupta said as quoted by Hindustan Times.
The producer further alleged that Sunny Deol forged an agreement with his company in 2023 and added, “When we read the agreement, humne dekha ki unhonein toh panna hi change kar diya beech wala, jahan par fees ka amount ₹4cr ko badha kar ₹8cr kar diya aur profit to ₹2cr kar diya.”
The press conference was also attended by filmmaker Suneel Darshan, who is known for movies like Janwar (1999) and Andaaz (2003). Darshan also extended his support to Gupta and claimed Sunny Deol did the same with him too. “Sunny Deol acquired rights from my movie Ajay (1996) for overseas distribution and only made a partial payment. The balance payment never came through,” Darshan said and then added, “Later, Sunny requested me to work on a project with him, saying, ‘Have faith in me, help me out’, and got me to pay him again.”
Sunny Deol’s Upcoming Movie: Border 2
Sunny Deol was last seen in Gadar 2. Released in August 2023, the film also starred Ameesha Patel and was a blockbuster hit. Next, Deol will soon be seen in the sequel of his 1997 movie, Border. Border 2 will not only mark Sunny Deol’s return in uniform but will also star Ayushmann Khurrana. He will reportedly be playing a prominent role in the Indian Armed Forces. Anurag Singh will direct the film.
Earlier this month, Sunny Deol graced Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast when he talked about Border 2 and said, “I’ve also heard that they’re making Border 2. We were meant to start it a lot earlier, in 2015. But then my films flopped, so people were scared to make it then. Now, everyone wants to make it.” Deol is likely to begin shooting for the film in October this year. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now.
