Sunny Deol is a renowned Bollywood actor who has been appearing in Indian films for decades. His timeless classics include Ghayal, Damini, Border, and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. He is famous for portraying intense, patriotic, and frequently anti-Pakistani roles, but off-screen, he shares a warm, respectful, and cordial relationship with his Pakistani fanbase.
Recently, Sunny Deol was promoting his period film Batwara (1947), which reportedly features the historical events that happened during the India-Pakistan Partition in 1947. The film is going to release on 14th August 2026 internationally except Pakistan.
While responding to a question from the press, “So, you shot this movie in Pakistan, right? How do you see Pakistan as a nation, the atmosphere, and its people?” Sunny Deol replied, “Although we didn’t shoot in Pakistan, everything about the film was shot here in India. But as Papa said, if India is my mother, Pakistan is my mother’s sister (maasi), so we are somehow connected to each other.” Watch the video here:
