Sunny Deol recently shed light on his past discord with Shah Rukh Khan in the wake of Darr’s release, stirring memories of a famous Bollywood conflict. At a recent News18 Summit, Sunny shared insights into their strained relationship while expressing hope for future collaboration. He mentioned that everyone involved knew who was right and who was wrong, subtly hinting at their infamous disagreement.
The clash between Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan stems from the 1993 film, Darr, in which Shah Rukh’s role as the obsessive villain overshadowed Sunny’s portrayal of the hero. The film’s success contributed to tension, leading to a fallout with director Yash Chopra. Sunny candidly recalled that whatever issues arose in the past should not be revisited, emphasizing the need to move forward. Quoting Sunny, “I wasn’t upset as such. Whatever happened then, it happened, that time has passed.”
The actor stressed the importance of moving on, reflecting on how unresolved issues can hinder progress. Still, Sunny’s comments resonated with fans who remember the heated dispute that led to a prolonged silence between him and Shah Rukh. Despite this, Sunny expressed his willingness to share the screen with Shah Rukh once again, saying, “I think anyone who is… Shah Rukh ke saath ek hi film ki thi. Toh ek aur kar sakte hain (I did only one film with Shah Rukh. So we can do another).”
Beyond reflections on past tensions, Sunny’s latest film, Jaat, has been making headlines. Released on April 10, it features Randeep Hooda alongside Sunny and has garnered positive reception. While Sunny’s openness to work with Shah Rukh highlights the healing over time, fans eagerly watch for any developments regarding a new venture between the two stars. With both actors hinting at potential collaborations, the door remains open for a twist in this story, reminding audiences of the excitement cinema can bring through unexpected partnerships.
