Sunny Deol says he is only focusing on acting instead of producing films: “I had a tough time with my films in this past decade”

Bollywood actor Sunny Deol is back with his latest release, Gadar 2. The film, helmed by Anil Sharma, also stars Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma. It has entered the Rs. 450 Crores Club at the Indian box office. Till now, the film has collected Rs. 456.05 crores. However, in a recent conversation, the actor revealed that he is only focusing on acting now and won’t be producing anything as he goes bankrupt while doing so.

In a conversation with BBC Asian Network, Sunny said, “The world has become very difficult. Years back, I could control things because distribution was normal. They were people we interacted with. There was a connection. Ever since the corporates have come in, there’s nothing. For an individual to stand tall over there, it’s difficult. You have to do your PR, and run around, and they won’t give you your number of theatres. They don’t want individuals to be there. I had a tough time with my films in this past decade. You’re trying to do a certain kind of cinema, but you (don’t get the backing).”

He added, “That’s what I came in for. I became a producer, a director, wearing too many hats. A man can only do one job. So I said, ‘Throw everything away, just become an actor.’ So that’s what I want to do now. Do as many films as I can as an actor.”

Helmed by Anil Sharma, the film is a sequel to the 2001 movie Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and it also stars Ameesha Patel, Utkarsh Sharma, Simratt Kaur and Manish Wadhwa.
