Welcome to our Know the unknown segment of Bolly Buzz. Today we have a very exciting story of The Darr movie actors Sunny Deol and Shahrukh Khan.
In Yash Chopra’s Darr, Sunny Deol played the quintessential hero while Shah Rukh Khan was the anti-hero. But did you know after the film’s release, Sunny and Shah Rukh did not speak to each other for 16 long years?
Sunny was upset at the way his character was portrayed in the film while SRK’s Rahul Mehra managed to take over its canvas.
In an appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Sunny Deol walked down the memory late and recounted the disagreements he had with Darr’s director Yash Chopra on the sets of the film, and how angry it had made him.
Sunny Deol opened up on how he disagreed with the climax of the film where Shah Rukh’s character stabs his commando character.
In an interview, Sunny said that his “issue with the film was that he did not knew they would glorify the villain.”
Darr came out in 1993 when Sunny Deol was at the peak of his career while Shah Rukh Khan was still cementing his place in the film industry. It was also SRK’s first film with Yash Chopra.
Darr not only made SRK extremely popular, his “K-k-k-k-kiran” dialogue is remembered to this day. It was among a handful of ‘anti-hero’ films that the actor did in his career.
