There
has
lately
been
a
lot
of
hoopla
about
the
Rs
100
crore
club,
but
Sunny
Deol,
who
has
been
active
in
filmdom
for
three
decades,
says
the
trend
has
been
there
as
long
as
he
can
remember
-
but
it
was
never
hyped.
The
56-year-old,
who
debuted
with
superhit
romantic
drama
Betaab
in
1983,
is
surprised
at
the
hype
around
movies
grossing
over
Rs
100
crore.
"I
don't
understand
why
it
is
hyped
so
much.
There
are
films
that
have
earned
much
more
than
Rs
100
crore,
but
it
was
never
hyped
earlier," Sunny
said
in
a
group
interview.
"It's
only
now
that
people
make
an
issue
out
of
it.
My
film
Gadar
-
Ek
Prem
Katha
had
earned
several
crores.
It
was
a
blockbuster.
People
appreciated
the
work
and
the
storyline," he
added.
The
actor,
who
also
featured
in
hits
like
Ghayal,
Darr
and
Damini,
finds
it
difficult
to
get
a
handle
on
the
trend
of
the
No.
1
race.
"I
don't
understand
why
everyone
wants
to
be
on
number
one
today.
People
have
become
insecure.
The
quality
of
work
is
lacking
and
major
focus
is
on
the
money
a
film
will
earn," he
said.
Last
seen
in
2011
super
hit
comedy
Yamla
Pagla
Deewana
(YDP),
which
saw
him
again
teaming
up
with
his
father
Dharmendra
and
brother
Bobby
after
Apne,
Sunny
is
not
perturbed
by
any
trend
or
competition.
"What
people
are
doing
today,
I
have
seen
and
done
all
this
earlier.
I
don't
like
it
(Rs
100
crore
club)
being
hyped
as
if
it
was
never
there
before," he
said.
"I
have
come
back
after
a
break.
I
am
not
seen
around
much
now
because
I
have
not
entered
this
racket.
It
doesn't
bother
me,"
added
the
actor,
who
will
now
be
seen
in
Yamla
Pagal
Deewana
2,
which
releases
on
June
7.
Sunny
is
one
of
those
actors
who
made
his
mark
as
an
action
hero.
He
says
that
in
those
days,
shooting
stunts
was
a
different
ball
game
as
they
couldn't
fall
back
on
high-end
technologies.
"Earlier,
when
we
used
to
shoot
action
sequences,
we
had
to
do
everything
on
our
own.
We
didn't
have
advanced
equipment
at
that
time.
I
never
used
body
doubles.
Action
is
something
that
has
always
interested
me," he
explained.
As
for
fitness,
Sunny
can
give
the
young
brigade
of
actors
a
run
for
their
money.
He
says
there
is
no
big
secret
behind
it.
"I
am
a
very
simple
and
hardworking
person.
I
have
never
worked
to
have
six-pack
abs
or
flaunt
my
muscles.
I
work
out
and
take
normal
diet,"
Sunny
said.
His
forthcoming
films
I
love
New
York,
Singh
Sahab
The
Great,
Ghayal
Returns
and
Mohalla
Assi
are
keeping
Sunny
busy
these
days.
His
ready
to
release,
Sangeeth
Sivan-directed
Yamla
Pagla
Deewana
2,
will
see
him
as
a
recovery
officer.
Apart
from
the
three
Deols,
the
film
also
involves
Sunny's
wife
Linda
as
the
scriptwriter
and
his
son
Karan
as
an
assistant
director.
Dharmendra
has
produced
the
film.
He
said
working
on
the
film
was
like
a
family
get-together.
"It
has
been
like
a
family
affair.
We
all
were
together.
YPD-2
is
different
from
the
first
one.
It
was
my
wife's
story
idea,
she
has
written
the
script.
The
film
is
set
in
Britain."
"My
character
helps
families
in
Britain
by
assisting
them
to
repay
bank
loans.
Bobby's
and
my
father's
characters
are
based
in
Benaras.
They
try
to
bluff
me
in
the
film
and
later
the
story
takes
an
interesting
turn,"
Sunny
added.
