Sunny Deol
Sundawn Entertainment's Sorav Gupta has made shocking allegations against Gadar star Sunny Deol. The film producer levelled claims of cheating, extortion, and forgery against the actor. As per the real estate developer turned producer, Sunny Deol took money from him to do a film in 2026 and continued to do so. This went on for quite some time, but no film ever got made.
Gadar 2 star Sunny Deol accused of cheating
In a conversation with HT City, Sorav mentioned that he had signed Sunny Deol on a film for a fee of Rs 4 crore. Elaborating on the same, he said, "We gave him Rs 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 Rs 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."
The producer also went on to say that Sunny Deol forged an agreement with his company: "When we read the agreement, humne dekha ki unhonein toh panna hi change kar diya beech wala, jahan par fees ka amount Rs 4cr ko badha kar Rs 8cr kar diya aur profit to Rs 2cr kar diya," he shared with the portal.
Sorav received support from filmmaker Suneel Darshan, best known for his works 'Andaaz' and 'Janwar', at the same press conference. Corroborating Sorav's story, the filmmaker shared, "Sunny Deol acquired rights from my movie Ajay (1996) for overseas distribution and only made a partial payment. The balance payment never came through."
"Later, Sunny requested me to work on a project with him, saying, âHave faith in me, help me out', and got me to pay him again," Suneel Darshan added.
To further back the story, an anonymous industry insider confessed to HT that this behaviour is not a surprise as Deol has a history of being dishonest with producers, "He is a known troublemaker for years . Sunny had given a bound script of a film called Ram Janmbhumi to a producer who created a huge set in Mumbai. Sunny signed the film for Rs 5cr. But later, he refused to come to the sets and demanded a fees of Rs 25cr because he had delivered a blockbuster (Gadar 2, 2023)." the source revealed.
Sorav Gupta also shared that a police complaint has been filed, with a notice that even went to Sunny Deol. However, the day the actor was supposed to show, Sunny Deol's office shared a letter claiming "he was out of town."
