Suneel Darshan opens up about ‘very bad experience' with Sunny Deol despite supporting him: ‘He assured he'd return my money with interest, but…'
Director-producer Suneel Darshan has not just never shied away from talking about his infamous fallouts with various industry insiders, including actors Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar, but has also never minced words when addressing what went wrong between them. Recently, he opened up about his spat with the Gadar actor, mentioning that the latter broke his trust. Sharing that he had 'a very bad experience' with Sunny Deol while working on his directorial debut Ajay (1996), Suneel revealed that the matter involved financial issues as well. 'He was supposed to pay me a certain amount as he had acquired the rights for Ajay's distribution overseas. Then he turned up saying, 'It's Christmas time, so the banks in the UK are shut. I'll definitely pay you later.' When the opportunity came later, he said, 'I'm sorry, I don't have the money, but I intend to pay you. Please help me.' He was starting a movie at that point called London with Gurinder Chadha. He said, 'You've been a close friend and filmmaker, and I have great respect for you.' I had supported him a lot while he was producing Barsaat (1995) as well. If he doesn't have a bad memory, he should remember it,' Suneel quipped during a chat with Bollywood Hungama. The filmmaker further stated that although he kept supporting Sunny, the actor never reciprocated it. As per Sunny's promise to work with him in another film instead of paying the money, Suneel approached him with a story, which eventually became Jaanwar (1999). However, Sunny turned it down. 'He said he was not comfortable with the subject and wanted me to work more on it. I said, 'This is a lie.' Soon after, certain untoward incidents happened, which left me shocked. That's when we decided not to work together again.' Although Sunny 'assured' he would return Suneel's money along with interest, the filmmaker maintained that he never kept his word, and the matter reached the court. 'Then Sunny went and told the court that he didn't have the liquidity to pay me, so he said he would do a film with me again, which the court felt was the best way to solve the issue. Much against my wishes, I gave in to it. There were some terms and conditions, and he flouted them. Only after putting in a year's worth of effort and money did I realise that the intent was suspicious. Thus, I walked out of that project and approached a division bench court. It's pending there now,' he added. Pointing out that he had known Sunny even before he became an actor, Suneel Darshan expressed that he 'believed in Sunny Deol.' 'When you put someone on a pedestal and then that image falls, it is more than just a momentary loss,' he concluded.

Home Alone Reboot Would Be A 'Mistake', Says Director Chris Columbus
Last Updated: Home Alone director Chris Columbus thinks it would be a "mistake" to reboot the franchise, and that it should be left alone. Chris Columbus thinks it would be a 'mistake" to reboot Home Alone. The 66-year-old filmmaker directed the 1990 Christmas classic and its 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York – which were both written by John Hughes and starred Macaulay Culkin – and he believes it would be impossible to capture the magic of the films so far into the future. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'I think Home Alone really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can't really recapture that. I think it's a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. 'I think it should be left alone." His comment came after Macaulay recently teased potentially reprising his role as Kevin McCallister if the salary was right. But he said during a screening of the film and a Q+A session: 'I have ideas, but I don't have time to write anything with my two children." Following the first two movies, the Home Alone franchise continued with Home Alone 3 (1997), Home Alone 4 (2002), Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012) and Home Sweet Home Alone (2021), but with other child actors at the forefront. And in 2018, Ryan Reynolds was attached to produce an R-rated reboot for Fox titled Stoned Alone, but the project has not progressed. Meanwhile, Chris previously admitted he wished he could erase US President Donald Trump's cameo from Home Alone 2: Lose in New York, branding his appearance a 'curse". In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he declared: 'I just wish it was gone. 'If I cut it, I'll probably be sent out of the country. I'll be considered sort of not fit to live in the United States, so I'll have to go back to Italy or something." The seven-second appearance by Trump came when Macaulay's character checked into the Plaza Hotel and asked a man in the lobby for directions, seemingly oblivious to the fact it was the then-owner of the facility. Trump gave a simple reply and walked off screen. In a 2020 interview with Business Insider, Chris said the future president 'bullied his way into the movie" after only allowing filming to take place at the hotel if he could have a cameo role. He said: 'We paid the fee, but he also said, 'The only way you can use the Plaza is if I'm in the movie'." However, Trump later claimed Chris had 'begged" him to be in the movie. He wrote on his Truth Social platform: 'I was very busy, and didn't want to do it. He added: 'They were very nice, but above all, persistent. I agreed, and the rest is history! That little cameo took off like a rocket… now, however, 30 years later, Columbus (what was his real name?) put out a statement that I bullied myself into the movie. Nothing could be further from the truth." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
