Edit links films like Lootere, Darr, Jeet, Ghatak, Border and Ziddi. In 1999 he made his directorial debut with Dillagi starring
himself, his brother and Urmila Matondkar.
His first hit in the millennium was Anil Sharma's 2001 film Gadar. In 2003 he teamed up with director Anil Sharma yet
again for The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, which also starred Preity Zinta and Priyanka Chopra.[14] Released on 11 April,
The Hero was billed as Bollywood's most expensive film at that time with an estimated budget of ₹600 million
(US$8.7 million).[15] The film became the third highest-grossing Bollywood film of that year. [16] Sunny appeared
alongside his father Dharmendra and Bobby Deol together for the first time in Apne (2007),[17] and then yet again in
Yamla Pagla Deewana.[18][19]
Deol's first release of 2010 was Neeraj Pathak's crime thriller Right Yaaa Wrong which had him playing a police
inspector.[20] Yamla Pagla Deewana was Sunny's only release in 2011 and was one of the biggest successes of the
year.[21] In 2011, he started working in Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru's I Love NY opposite Kangana Ranaut and in
Chandraprakash Dwivedi's Mohalla Assi opposite Sakshi Tanwar, but due to some reason both films have been
delayed. For the first time in his career, Sunny lent his voice (for Bheem) in the Animated film Mahabharata; produced
by Jayantilal Gada of PEN India Pvt Ltd. His future venture is Neeraj Pathak's Bhaiyyaji Superhitt (where he plays a
double role for the first time).[22] .[23] It earned US$6.7 million whereas Yamla Pagla Deewana earned US$14 million. In
the end of 2013 Sunny's movie Singh Saab The Great was loved massively and created a big pandemonium in the
cinema hall as well as on Facebook.[24] In 2016, Ghayal Once Again was released which is a sequel to his 1990 film
Ghayal and is the second film directed by him. His latest movie in 2017 was Poster Boys, which became a semi hit at
the box office.[25] In 2018, Deol appeared in Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se, Bhaiaji Superhit and Mohalla Assi. In
2019, he set to direct Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, marking the debut of his son Karan Deol.
Personal life
Sunny Deol is married to Lynda Deol (aka Pooja Deol) and the couple has two sons, Karan and Rajveer. Karan was an
assistant director on Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 and has rapped in a song sung by Diljit Dosanjh in the film. Karan Deol
has made his Bollywood debut with the Hindi-language feature film Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas.[citation needed]
Political career
Deol joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) party on 23 April 2019. [26] He won the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections from
Gurdaspur constituency against his rival Sunil Jakhar of Indian national Congress with a margin of 82,459 votes. [27][28]
Apart from National Film Awards, Filmfare Awards and other competitive awards which Deol won for his performances
throughout the years, he has been awarded several honours for his achievements in the Indian film industry.
