Sunny Deol Recalls Father Dharmendra’s Haqeeqat While Talking About Border 2: 'I Was Inspired By It...'

Sunny Deol is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming much-anticipated movie Border 2. The actor recently attended the song launch event in Jaisalmer. During the event, Deol opened up about the film and took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he reflected on his experience of shooting Border years ago. He shared anecdotes from the sets and spoke about how the film left a lasting impact on him, both professionally and emotionally. Sunny also fondly recalled how his late father Dharmendra’s iconic war film Haqeeqat played a significant role in shaping his understanding of patriotic cinema.

Sunny Deol said, "Kaise hain aap log? Mein aap ke parivaar ka hissa hi hoon, jab se maine Border ki hain. Maine Border ki thi kyuki maine jab apni papa ki film Haqeeqat dekhi thi, woh mujhe bohot pyaari lagi thi. Tab main bohot chhota tha. Jab main actor bana tab maine taay kiya ki main bhi papa jaise ek film karunga. JP Dutta saab ke saath maine baat ki aur hum dono ne decide kiya ki hum iss subject mein film banayenge jo bohot hi pyaara hein so aap sab ke dilo mein basa hua hein (How are you all? I am part of your family, from the time I did Border. I did that film after I saw my father's film Haqeeqat and was inspired by it. I was very small then. When I became an actor I decided to make a film on a similar subject. JP Dutta and me decided on that story and it has remained in your hearts ever since)."

Meanwhile, Sunny Deol also grew emotional as he addressed the gathering, saying, "Main zyada kuch nahi bol paaunga, mera dimaag hila hua hai" (I won’t be able to say much, I am a little shaken). His words were a reference to the recent loss of his father, veteran actor Dharmendra, who passed away at the age of 89 on November 24.
