Sunny Deol, the iconic actor and politician, has found himself back in the spotlight with the astounding success of “Gadar 2”. After a string of underwhelming ventures, it seems like the tables have turned for the Bollywood star, and this time, they’ve turned in his favor. The film’s performance at the box office has not only revived Deol’s career but also given him a renewed sense of direction.
Remember the days when Sunny Deol ruled the silver screen with his thunderous action-packed performances? Well, those days are back. It’s no secret that the actor’s recent cinematic endeavors have struggled to make a mark. His last genuine hit was the 2011 release “Yamla Pagla Deewana”. However, the release of “Gadar 2” has turned the tides in a remarkable way. The film has managed to rake in a staggering Rs. 615 crores globally, and what’s even more impressive is that it accomplished this feat with a modest budget of just Rs. 60 crores.
The success of “Gadar 2” has prompted Sunny Deol to make a significant decision about his career path. He has chosen to focus solely on acting from now on. Despite rumors swirling about a fee hike after the movie’s blockbuster performance, Deol has quashed these speculations and asserted his commitment to acting. In a candid interview, he revealed the challenges he faced when he took on multiple roles in the film industry.
Speaking with the BBC Asian Network, Sunny Deol bared his thoughts on his previous ventures into film production. His last production venture was his son Karan Deol’s film “Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas”. However, Deol confessed that his experiences as a producer had left him grappling with financial troubles. He admitted, “Because I go bankrupt. The world has become very difficult.” He elaborated on how the landscape of film distribution and production had evolved over the years, making it increasingly tough for individuals to stand firm against the corporate behemoths.

This decision to step away from film production also has consequences for Deol’s political career. Riding on a wave of popularity, he triumphed in the 2019 Loksabha elections from Gurdaspur, securing victory with a substantial margin against his rival Sunil Jakhar from the Congress party. However, his tenure as a Parliamentarian was anything but impressive.
Sunny Deol’s return to the silver screen has been met with exuberant enthusiasm from his fans. While his fame was initially built on his action-packed roles, he has also proven himself to be an exceptional actor in roles like “Damini”, “Arjun”, “Jeet”, “Ghatak”, and of course, the original “Gadar”. This shift back to his acting roots is not just a homecoming for Deol, but also a treat for his admirers who have been eagerly waiting for him to reclaim his position as a powerhouse performer.
“Gadar 2” has undeniably revived career of Sunny Deol from its slumber. The movie’s colossal success has prompted the actor to prioritize his acting endeavors and step away from the complex world of film production. This decision marks a new beginning for Deol as he returns to his forte.
With his impressive acting chops and a legion of dedicated fans, there’s no doubt that Sunny Deol’s journey in the film industry is far from over. As the curtain rises on this new phase of his career, audiences can eagerly await more electrifying performances and perhaps, another iconic hit that will etch his name even deeper into the annals of Bollywood history.
