“SHOCKING! Sunny Deol accused of cheating and forgery by film producers Sorav Gupta and Suneel Darshan: Report”
Actress and parliamentarian Sunny Deol found himself caught up in a serious of damning accusations. In a recent report, film producer, Sorav Gupta of Sundawn Entertainment Pvt Ltd claims that Deol cheated on him with his wife and fathered three children.
Last week at a press conference, real estate developer turned film producer, “Sorav Gupta alleged that Deol had taken Rs 1 crore as advance payment for a film in 2016 with an agreed fee of Rs 4 crores”. According to Gupta, the actor did not start the project as promised but went on to shoot Poster Boys (2017) instead. And he claimed that he kept making payments to Deol amounting to Rs 2.55 crores over time.
“We gave him 1 crore advance but instead of starting my film he opted to shoot for Poster Boys (2017). He kept asking me for more money and by now my Rs 2.55 crores is in Sunny ji’s account. He also made me give money to another director, book Filmistan studio, and get an executive producer” said Gupta Hindustan Times.
The situation got worse when according to Gupta; in 2023 Sunny Deol forged an agreement with his company. “When we read the agreement, humne dekha ki unhonein toh panna hi change kar diya beech wala’. They changed one page where the fees amount became Rs 8 crore from earlier mentioned amount of Rs 4 crores and profit turned into Rs 2 crore,” he said.
At the same press conference veteran filmmaker Suneel Darshan supported these allegations by saying that even he has faced similar issues with Sunny Deol whose most successful films include Janwar (1999) and Andaaz (2003).
“Sunny Deol acquired rights from my movie Ajay (1996) for overseas distribution and only made a partial payment. The balance payment never came through,” said Darshan. He further added, “Later Sunny requested me to work on a project with him, saying, ‘Have faith in me, help me out’, and got me to pay him again.”
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an insider who corroborated Gupta’s accusations stated that several producers have complained that the actor has not kept his word on several occasions. “He is know as a trouble maker for years. He gave the bound script of a film called Ram Janmbhumi to a producer who created a huge set in Mumbai. Sunny signed the film for Rs 5 crores. But later he refused to come on sets and demanded Rs 25 crores as fees because he delivered a blockbuster (Gadar 2),” she revealed.
A police complaint has been filed against Sunny Deol by Sorav Gupta in response to these allegations. “The police issued [Deol] a notice on April 30. His office sent a letter saying he was out of town on the day he was to present himself,” he added.
There have been no comments from Sunny Deol regarding this matter so far.
