Sunny Deol has been basking the success of his film Gadar 2, with the film all set to enter Rs 500 crores club soon.
Contrary to the film's success, the actor has recently shared in one of the interviews that he is not going to produce any more films in the near future. Highlighting the fact that producing makes him go bankrupt, he expressed that one can do a single job at a time and he is planning to focus solely on acting.
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, 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. 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.”
Sunny has produced a number of films in the past such as Indian (2001), 23 March 1931: Shaheed (2002), Socha Na Tha (2005), Ghayal Once Again (2016) and Pal Pal Dil Ke Pass (2019); however none of the films turned profitable for the actor at the given time.
