Sunny Deol’s Ghayal NOT a Regular South Rehash

Posted by admin on Jul 16th, 2011 | 0 comments

We have been having gigantic hits alright in Bollywood as far as the likes of Salman Khan (Dabangg, Ready, Wanted) and Ajay Devgn (Singham) are concerned but they are merely remakes of South hits. Sunny Deol wants to do it differently, through for his movie Ghayal Returns. The original ‘raw’ action man still cherishes the ‘desi mukka’ and feels that real action is only when there is real, raw, action instead of special effects doing all the work of making men fly in the air after every slam.

Ashwini Chaudhdary who will be directing Ghayal Returns says, “Most of the action flicks these days are South remakes. I am not saying they are bad. In fact, the promo of Singham looks fantastic to me. It is just that sensibility of Ghayal Returns would be different from the rest. Sunny wants drama and action to go together while staying away from gimmickry.”

A source adds, “There is this new trend that has picked up off late with every actor worth his salt remaking a film from down South. Sunny has no intent of doing that. So while Salman Khan has picked up Ready, Bodyguard and Kick, Ajay would be soon seen in Singham and Akshay Kumar too would begin work on Rowdy Rathore, all these films being remakes, Sunny believes that there is a different sensibility required for the films that he makes.”

So, will it be just Sunny Deol and his ‘dhai kilo ka haath’ prowesss, minus the technical finesse that is seen in larger than life action flicks? Nope, in fact, there is going to be high quality technicians who will be on the project to make the movie a visual spectacle as well. “It will be a mix of both actually”, Ashwini adds, “We would have action masters from India but then there would be a substantial crew made of people from across the globe as well. Technically, we want action to carry certain finesse even though the spirit would be entirely Indian and most importantly believable. “We are already into storyboarding the entire action and rest assured it is turning out to be huge, raw, intense and real. This also means that you won’t see people flying around; they would be dead buried with a single ‘mukka'”, smiles the director. With this movie, hopefully Sunny will be back in reckoning. The actor had a laid back attitude of late but the stupendous success of Yamla Pagla Deewana seems to have revived his zeal to make a comeback.
