Recently, Suniel Shetty got talking about how he got into doing dangerous stunts in films, after taking up a critic’s diss against him as a challenge. Suniel was called a ‘wooden horse' by a critic.
Suniel
Shetty
has
entertained
us
with
some
fantastic
films
over
the
years.
Now,
he
is
all
set
to
make
his
debut
in
the
Kannada
film
industry,
with
Sudeep's
sports
drama,
'Pehlwaan'.
Recently,
Suniel
got
talking
about
how
he
got
into
doing
dangerous
stunts
in
films,
after
taking
up
a
critic's
diss
against
him
as
a
challenge.
He
also
spoke
about
his
son,
Ahan
stepping
into
the
film
industry,
and
how
Suniel
has
prepared
him
for
it.
Read
on.
Opening
up
about
what
motivated
him
to
do
stunts
himself,
Suniel
said
at
a
recent
interaction,
"I
never
dreamt
that
I
would
end
up
doing
dangerous
stunts
in
films.
I
did
it
because
even
after
the
success
of
my
first
film,
a
particular
critic,
who
was
very
powerful
at
that
time
called
me
'wooden
material'
and
he
said
that
I
should
go
back
to
my
family's
restaurant
business.
So,
I
took
it
up
as
a
challenge.
I
told
myself
I
needed
to
do
something
where
I
could
be
different."
Speaking
about
his
son's
debut,
he
said,
"I
have
always
told
Ahan
not
to
get
scared
with
that
Friday
when
his
film
will
be
released
because
sometimes
you
will
get
success
and
sometimes
you
will
see
failure.
I
know
my
son
will
be
able
to
handle
success
but
he
will
have
to
learn
how
to
handle
the
failure.
People
will
write
good
and
bad
things
about
him
but
he
has
to
take
it
in
his
stride
because
entering
films
was
his
choice.
I
feel
Ahan
is
blessed
because
Sajid
bhai
(Sajid
Nadiadwala)
is
producing
his
first
film,
Milan
Lutharia
is
the
director
of
the
film,
Rajat
Arora
is
the
writer
and
film's
music
is
done
by
Pritam
dada.
What
more
can
he
ask
for?"
After
his
Kannada
debut,
Suniel
will
be
seen
in
a
Bollywood
film,
opposite
Tara
Sutaria.
Titled
'Tadap',
the
film
is
directed
by
Milan
Luthria,
and
is
set
for
release
sometime
in
2020.
