Sunny
Deol
is
very
upset
with
the
way
Subhash
Ghai
and
his
production
house
Mukta
Arts
have
marketed
Right
Yaaa
Wrong.
Says
Sunny,
"It
was
always
a
good
film.
Mukta
Arts
has
not
been
fair
to
it.
They've
publicized
it
like
a
small
producer
would
have.
For
a
large
production
house
they
really
didn't
seem
to
know
what
to
do
with
the
film.
It
was
all
talk
talk
talk...
There
were
so
many
meetings
and
so
many
plans.
But
nothing
happened.
I'm
fed
up
of
all
this
empty
talk.
Now
I
only
want
to
work
on
projects
with
a
clear
plan
of
action."
Sunny
feels
Ghai
was
not
interested
in
the
film.
"He
didn't
believe
in
Right
Yaaa
Wrong.
And
he
was
surrounded
by
advisers
who
were
constantly
trying
to
bisect
and
dissect
the
film.
Filmmaking
may
be
a
team
effort.
But
you
can't
have
a
team
of
people
always
providing
inputs
and
advice.
That
only
causes
chaos
and
confusion.
The
film
has
to
finally
go
by
one
man's
vision.
And
that
man
is
the
director."
Apparently,
Ghai
didn't
allow
the
director
Neerraj
Pathak
to
do
his
work.
"At
the
end
of
the
day
it's
his
vision
that
determines
the
end-product.
You've
to
let
the
director
do
his
job.
Fortunately
or
unfortunately,
I'm
not
the
kind
of
person
who
interferes
beyond
a
point.
I
can't
sit
and
talk
talk
talk.
I'm
a
man
of
action."
Sunny
accuses
Ghai
of
releasing
the
film
at
the
wrong
time.
"They
kept
saying
they'd
release
the
film
at
the
right
time.
Finally
they
released
it
on
the
day
the
IPL
matches
started.
How
is
that
the
right
date?
The
truth
is,
they
had
lost
interest
in
the
film.
But
when
they
held
trials
people
liked
the
film.
Suddenly
they
decided
to
release
it
with
haphazard
publicity
at
a
time
when
I'm
shooting
in
Punjab.
They
were
earlier
supposed
to
release
in
December,
then
January...what
was
I
supposed
to
do?
Give
up
shooting
and
run
around
doing
the
publicity
(for
Right
Yaaa
Wrong)
when
they
wanted
me
to?
All
big
talk.
The
world
is
filled
with
big
talkers."
Sighs
Sunny,
"It's
a
changed
industry.
Nothing
works
the
way
it
used
to.
A
few
films
click,
and
that's
it.
I'm
not
interested
in
any
kind
of
politics.
And
the
directors
...we
need
good
directors.
The
directors
we
(the
Deols)
have
given
a
break
to
have
run
away
after
working
with
us.
Everyone
is
into
their
own
kind
of
cinema,
not
necessarily
sensible
cinema."
Is
Sunny
talking
about
Raj
Kumar
Santoshi?
"He
was
supposed
to
do
a
project
with
me
again.
I
guess
it
wasn't
meant
to
be.
He
will
do
films
only
where
the
economics
are
to
his
advantage.
He
doesn't
have
the
b**ls
to
make
the
cinema
he
believes
in
unless
the
money
is
right.
Who's
doing
the
work
they
believe
in?
Imtiaz
Ali
made
Socha
Na
Tha
with
our
cousin
Abhay
Deol.
Now
that
film
is
being
remade
over
and
over
again
in
different
packages.
Anyway,
if
I
was
once
bitten
and
twice
shy
I'd
be
called
an
emotional
man.
But
if
I
was
twice
bitten
and
thrice
shy
then
I'd
be
called
a
foolish
man.
Santoshi
or
anyone
else
makes
films
wherever
there's
money.
What
happened
to
creativity?
I
wonder!
Filmmakers
follow
Friday
trends."
Sunny's
second
film
as
director
The
Man
has
been
delayed
for
some
time.
Explains
Sunny,
"There're
many
reasons
for
it.
It's
a
big-budget
film.
We're
trying
to
find
buyers
for
it.
The
film
is
50
percent
complete."
Sunny
is
happy
with
the
way
their
family
film
Yamla
Pagla
Deewana
is
shaping
up.
"It's
a
great
story.
And
the
film
will
rock.
My
dad,
my
brother
and
I
are
shooting
in
Punjab.
They
treat
us
like
family
here.
As
for
my
dad,
nobody
can
reach
the
place
where
he
is." Sunny
is
very
proud
of
his
cousin
Abhay
Deol.
"He
has
the
guts
to
do
the
kind
of
cinema
he
believes.
Just
like
all
the
other
Deols."
On
the
other
hand,
Subhash
Ghai
reacts
to
Sunny's
comments,
"Mukta
Arts
is
the
worldright
controllers
and
distributors
of
Right
Yaaa
Wrong.
We
weren't
able
to
sell
the
film
anywhere.
There
were
no
buyers.
The
set-up
was
not
saleable.
Our
job
was
to
give
money
for
the
film's
making
and
therefore
we
were
the
most
insecure
people
in
the
project.
Sunny
saab's
reactions
have
to
do
with
the
way
the
film
has
been
received
.Why
didn't
he
say
all
these
things
before
release?
I
had
gone
to
Sunny's
home
at
least
six
times.
We
wanted
to
release
it
initially
on
November
30.
But
the
stars,
and
I'm
talking
not
just
about
Sunny
but
Irrfan,
Konkona
and
Esha
Koppikhar,
had
no
time
to
promote
the
film.
As
far
as
my
intervention
in
concerned,
the
director
Neeraj
Pathak
himself
came
to
me
to
ask
for
advice.
I
only
advised
him
to
increase
the
film's
tempo.
Is
it
a
crime
to
give
suggestions
for
a
film
where
there're
so
many
financial
stakes?
The
film
was
started
when
there
was
a
boom...big
fruits
were
laden
on
the
tree.
When
it
was
released
the
tree
had
dried
up.
All
the
cast
and
crew
reaped
the
fruits.
We
the
film's
world
financiers
were
left
with
no
money.
We
sold
the
entire
overseas
territory
for
Rs.
20
lakhs.
We
spent
Rs.1.5
crores
on
the
publicity.
But
the
actors
were
not
available
for
the
publicity.
Sunny
said
he's
too
shy
to
do
publicity.
Look
at
Shah
Rukh
and
Aamir
how
they
promote
their
films.
They
hold
their
producers'
hands
and
take
them
everywhere
for
a
film's
publicity.
Instead
of
publicity
for
Right
Yaaa
Wrong,
Sunny
left
for
Punjab
to
shoot
his
film.
Please
don't
blame
Mukta
Arts.
Now
why
is
Sunny
getting
agitated?
He's
a
good
boy.
But
he's
innocent
about
the
changing
marketing
strategy
of
cinema.
Sunny
needs
to
get
real."
