Sunny Deol on the 100-crore club: Actors and filmmakers talk about it and are all fighting for it

Actor Sunny Deol says that box office clashes have never really bothered him. Nor did he ever get involved in the numbers game after his films released. The actor's film 'Poster Boys' had released on the same day as Arjun Rampal starrer 'Daddy'. The actor said, “I don’t think clashes made any difference back then, and neither did they have any significance even when my dad was active in films. It’s just hype created for people to talk about.”

When asked if he too hopes that his films cross the 100 crore mark, the actor stated, “We, my dad and I, have done it years and years ago. The difference is that we never spoke about it at that time, and so we were respected. In those days, nobody fought. Now, actors and filmmakers talk about it and they are all fighting for it.”

He also added that people no longer go to the theatres to enjoy a film. “They go in large numbers to watch a film and if they don’t like it, it doesn’t matter to them. It’s just a part of their conversation: ‘Oh, I also went to see it’. It’s no longer restricted to the desire to see something because it might make you feel nice. All these things are gone, and number game has taken over,” he said.

Sunny further added that all these years, all he has focused on as an actor is to do great cinema. “That’s how I want to be known. I’ve never bothered about where and how it happens. I didn’t even know when [my] films were a hit or how big they had become. I never sat down and planned my way ahead. So, it’s best to go on and keep moving ahead if you want to enjoy it,” he concluded.
