he is one of the finest actor indian film industry had so far.hi is the only hero who can run his movie on his own shoulder,otherwise all other hero needs multistarrer to make a hit.he is a real hero and he is much better than even amitabh bachan
he and his father are genuine performers,not a buffoon like other stars.moreover dharamendraji was very unlucky not to be considered and always taken lightly by media,by critics and by all others who makes star in one night only.he is the action hero but also a real hero shown his performance in satyakam and many more other movies likewise sunny proved himself in ghatak ghayal gadar and in more other movies but they both were very unlucky never appreciated by media because they are very simple and straight forward peoples not a diplomats and very very genuine peoples always ignoredby papers and media
what sunny did in gadar no other hero can do it.but what amir did in lagan every body can do that.i am comparing both just bcoz both were release at the same time but sunny was ignired in few days and morover gadar was hit just bcoz of sunnys terrific (solo)performance but lagan was full of performers any ways what i mean to say is that why r great peoples ignored in any field of life
sunny and his family is very simple and genuine family although they hav been from glamour world but they r still very simple and genuine peoples all of the deols.sunny is one and only one hero who runs movie of his own no other hero can do that,thats it,vikas juyal dehra dun mobile no.9997067640
sunny and his family is very simple and genuine family although they hav been from glamour world but they r still very simple and genuine peoples all of the deols.sunny is one and only one hero who runs movie of his own no other hero can do that,thats it,
MADAN DEWASI MUMBAI INDIA
MY BEST FIRENDS sunny DEOL
MADAN N. DEWASI
Most of indian and foriegn people think that Aamir and Sharukh are the biggest stars of bollyood but i think – they are just media-made.
Only sunny deol is the top-real actor in bollyood.None of other bollyood actors can be compared to him and his portryals in Damini and Gayal and Gader.This is absulote bias to keep him back from his rank and competency.Joya- Kabul Afghanistan.
sunny bhaji is a fantastic actor.he is a lion.he is a good human being.he is good husband,and good father.he is a legend.i love you sunny bhaji.i am your great fan.
i am waiting for a super hit film
sunny’s best movie are yateem and dacait, thought these are not gain sucess on box office. but as per acting these film are landmark.
The bollyood stood on its legs because there was the great Dharmendra , they did not give him all what he deserved of the awards bu he humbly kept going strong and now we know these overnight stars will never be Dharmendra. And Sunny deol is really a cult film performer, a great legend actor.
Sunny i hope your THE MAN prove all your critics and evil eyers surprized and shut-mouted for ever! you are doing great and your this film would be more than any indian film as of yet!
Wishing you all the Best!
Sunny has given remarkable hits to the Indian Cinema. He is also very attractive looking. Yes, I agree that all the Khans are media made popular plus the underworld Don. But…..I would not agree that Sunny is greater than Amitabh – as he is a legend and there is no comparison.
Ever since I saw Gadar – I though Sunny looked so great in a turban – he became my favourite hero. I think he should go back to Raj Kumar Santoshi’s films as they made good combination together.
I think Amitabh and Sunny should cast together in a film – !!
Good Luck Deol family.
Sunny’s action is really good. He is the only person in the bollywood industry who can hit a film on his own shoulders.
I am waiting for The Man
Good Luck Sunny
