Get ready for an explosive cinematic collision as Bollywood action icon Sunny Deol joins forces with renowned Telugu filmmaker Gopichand Malineni for a Hindi-Telugu bi-lingual film. The project, officially launched on Thursday and set to begin filming on Saturday, promises to be a high-octane masala extravaganza tailor-made for the "dhai kilo ka haath" star.
Gopichand, who is making his Bollywood debut with this venture, expresses his excitement about directing Sunny, his favorite actor, in an interview. "More than nervous about my Bollywood debut, I feel confident that it’ll be a good film," he says. "I wrote the script knowing it'll be perfect for someone like Sunny."
The director's confidence stems from Sunny's instant approval of the script. "Luckily, Mythri Movie Makers (the producers) also agreed and helped me approach him," Gopichand reveals. "To my surprise, Sunny said yes immediately because he liked it so much."
While Gopichand remains tight-lipped about the specific plot details, he hints at a unique and "racy" script with a touch of realism, setting it apart from his usual mass entertainers. He emphasizes that it's not a remake, but a fresh and exciting concept that perfectly aligns with his directorial style and Sunny's action hero persona.
The director's admiration for Sunny's work is evident in his enthusiasm. He mentions that Sunny has seen his 2021 hit "Krack" and enjoyed it. Gopichand, on the other hand, confesses to being a fan of Sunny's filmography, listing classics like "Ghayal," "Damini," "Gadar," and "Border" as his favorites.
This collaboration between the two cinematic powerhouses is sure to create a buzz amongst fans. With a script designed specifically for Sunny's charisma and Gopichand's expertise in crafting action-packed masala films, their upcoming bi-lingual project promises to be a blockbuster in the making.
