Suniel had spoken about the wedding earlier this year as well as negating some media rumours about dates. He had told a portal, “I think jaise hi bachhe decide karenge (it will happen as soon as the kids decide). Rahul ke schedules hai. Abhi Asia Cup hai, World Cup hai, South African tour hai, Australia tour hai. Jab bachho ko break milega tab shaadi hogi. Ek din me shaadi nahi ho sakti na? (Rahul has busy schedules, Asia Cup, World Cup, South African tour, Australia tour. The wedding will happen only when the kids get a break. It can't happen in a day, no)?"

On the work front, Suniel will be seen in teh web series Dharavi Bank as a powerful, ruthless Robin Hood-esque antagonist, Thalaivan. The web series also stars Vivek Oberoi. It is directed by Samit Kakkad and released on MX Player on November 19.
