Over
the
years,
Sunny
Deol
has
featured
in
several
patriotic
films
but
the
veteran
actor
says
he
has
never
looked
at
those
movies
as
a
sellable
product.
The
actor,
who
has
been
part
of
high-on-patriotism
films
such
as
Border
and
Gadar:
Ek
Prem
Katha,
said
he
chose
his
films
on
the
basis
of
his
role.
Asked
how
he
views
the
current
trend
of
patriotic
movies,
Sunny
said,
"Most
important
thing
is,
are
we
all
patriotic?
Do
we
love
our
mother
and
our
country?
It
shouldn't
be
taken
as
a
sellable
thing.
And
that's
how
I
have
done
my
films.
Whenever
I
have
done
anything,
I
have
believed
in
the
characters."
The
actor
said
he
has
often
played
characters
which
are
strong
and
fight
for
something.
"That's
my
nature
too.
I
go
till
the
end.
I
am
not
the
kind
of
person
who
gives
up.
Somehow
that
reflection
comes
across
on
screen.
When
I
have
done
films
on
a
patriotic
note,
people
have
connected
with
me
more."
"Now
the
whole
world
has
changed.
Everything
has
become
about
marketing
so,
everything
has
to
have
a
reason
of
'why
we
do
what
we
do'.
If
there's
a
season
of
something,
let's
make
that,
that's
the
mindset
of
people
today."
He
was
speaking
at
the
trailer
launch
of
his
next,
Blank,
which
marks
the
debut
of
Karan
Kapadia,
son
of
Simple
Kapadia
and
nephew
of
actor
Dimple
Kapadia.
Sunny
said
the
newcomers
today
are
well
groomed
and
know
what
they
do
want
to
do.
"Nowadays,
newcomers
are
so
well-prepared.
Karan
was
sure
about
this
project.
He
had
already
gone
through
it
before
me,
which
is
very
nice
because
then
you
own
the
character
and
the
subject."
The
thriller,
also
featuring
Ishita
Dutta,
has
been
directed
Behzad
Khambata.
Khambata
has
co-written
the
film
Pranav
Adarsh.
Blank
is
scheduled
to
release
on
May
3.
