Sunny Deol roots for a biopic on Papa Dharam

Sanjay Dutt’s life is all set to be captured on celluloid. Ranbir Kapoor will soon begin shooting for the Rajkumar Hirani film. Dutt and Sunny Deol have been contemporaries and with a film being made on Sanjay, what are Sunny’s thoughts on a film based on his life? 

Sunny dismisses the idea right away. “I don’t want anyone to do a biopic on me because eventually there’s one question that comes to my mind now. Who the hell am I?”

When told that he has been a superstar and a son of  a superstar dad Sunny smiles, “That doesn’t mean that someone should make a biopic on my life. I mean I really don’t know. I would feel very uncomfortable with the idea.” 

But he adds that instead of him, a biopic should be planned on dad Dharmendra’s life. “Ya, dad has an amazing success story to share. He has seen life from a small village to super-stardom. He has lived through so many generations. So he’s the right choice for a biopic to be made on. People of his status who have got so much to show to the world and people can see how they did it and whatever has happened in life. That time, it wasn’t that easy to become a star. His life is inspirational which will make for a better film.”

We totally agree. 

Then again, Sunny isn’t averse to the idea of biopics. To him, it’s a ‘nice trend’ which he would ‘love to try’. And he has a wishlist too. “As an actor, I feel I can play any person on screen. Provided that I have the technology with me if look younger or older as the role requires. But there’s one role that is always there on my mind. I want to do Asoka,” he reveals.
