Who is Sunny Deol? People would have said this if this actor had agreed to do these 2 films 34 years ago.
Sunny Deol is one of those actors in the Bollywood industry who has had a long run on the big screen. As soon as Sunny Deol's films were announced, there was tremendous excitement among the people. The audience used to wait with bated breath for Sunny's films. The actor had established himself in the industry in a very short time. After giving films like 'Damini', 'Ghayal', 'Ghaatak', and 'And Gadar', only Sunny Deol's name was on everyone's lips.
Sunny Deol's stardom was worth watching. Sunny released many films with a rough and tough image. However, very few people know that the first choice for the two films for which Sunny Deol is so much loved was not him but someone else. These films were none other than 'Ghaatak' and 'Ghayal'. Through these two films, Sunny Deol's career reached a new level and he made a special place in the hearts of the people.
The makers changed their decision at the last moment.
Very few people know that Rajkumar Santoshi had written these two characters for some other actor. But the film was not getting a producer, so at the last moment, he had to change the star cast of the film and this role fell into the lap of Sunny Deol. The film proved to be a blockbuster. People also liked Sunny Deol's personality a lot. According to a report on IMdb, Rajkumar Santoshi had written these 'Ghayal' and 'Ghaatak' for Kamal Haasan.
When he was writing about these two characters, Kamal Haasan's face was the only one in his mind. But the film was not getting the support of the producer. Due to this, he had to change the star cast. Sunny Deol was finally filed for both these films. The makers had spent 2.50 crores to make 'Ghayal' and the film earned more than 20 crores, while the budget of 'Ghaatak' was about 6.2 crores. The collection of this film was 26.57 crores. Sunny Deol received a lot of praise for both the films.
