Apne success lifts Deols' spirits

Monday, July 23, 2007
The success of Apne, one of the finest films this year, has fired up the Deols, who pack more star power in their family than the Kapoors or the Bachchans.

The Deols can field two father son pairing, each capable of winning hearts, unlike the lone Bachchan pairing. If you count their ladies in the competition begins to look trivial. While Amitabh Bachchan may hog the headlines through his deft manipulation of the media, in Dharmendra the Deols have an equally enduring and perhaps more consistent performer.

The Deols are planning to repeat the magic of Apne with a comedy film starring Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby. According to sources, Sunny who has earlier dabbled in direction is taking a keen interest in the scripting of the new film. Additionally, Sunny plans to get back to directing a film for the Deol banner.
