What: Gadar 2 actor Sunny Deol says he’s done with producing and directing. In a new interview with BBC Asian Network, Sunny said that every time he produces a movie, he goes “bankrupt.” He attributed his decision to the changing dynamics of film production and his inability to wear too many hats.
Furthermore: Sunny said in the interview, “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 (don’t get the backing).”
We say: We absolutely agree with what Sunny paaji says. These days, the corporates’ are helming the distribution of films and it’s too mechanical. Earlier, there was a passion and perhaps that was the lifeline of Bollywood.
