In the ever-volatile world of Bollywood, an actor's fortunes
can shift dramatically with each passing Friday. For Sunny Deol, one such
turning point arrived on August 11, propelled by the resounding success of
Gadar 2, which catapulted him into the ranks of the most sought-after talents
in Hindi cinema. As previously reported, Sunny Deol has already secured a
lucrative Rs. 50 crore contract with Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Dutta for Border
2. However, the grapevine has been buzzing with another exciting tidbit about
Sunny Deol.
Insider sources reveal that the seasoned actor is currently
in negotiations for a remarkable Rs. 45 crore deal with the creators of the
ambitious project, Ramayana. Sunny Deol is considering the role of Lord
Hanuman, a character of profound significance. He is fully committed to this
portrayal and has made it clear that he won't take on any other projects during
the filming of Ramayana. To do justice to the role, he is even prepared to
undergo a transformation in his physical appearance.
The negotiations, spearheaded by Sunny Deol, are taking
place with the talented duo of Nitesh Tiwari and Madhu Mantena, who are at the
helm of Ramayana. This decision to portray Hanuman is seen as a heartfelt
gesture, a way for Sunny Deol to express his gratitude to the deity for the
abundant success he has enjoyed in his life.
Remarkably, the amount proposed by Sunny for this role is
substantially lower than what he's being offered in the market. There are
reports of contracts worth a staggering Rs. 75 crores being tabled to lure him
into various other projects. One such project is an action-packed film, which
Sunny Deol is in active discussions about with a top producer from the South
Indian Film Industry. He has set the bar at Rs. 75 crores for his involvement,
and these negotiations are currently in progress.
Ramayana, a dream project for Nitesh Tiwari, boasts a
star-studded cast with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash
as Raavan. Sunny Deol's potential inclusion as Hanuman would undoubtedly
elevate the ensemble further. However, it's important to note that Sunny's
involvement is contingent on the finalization of financial terms and the
shooting schedule, which are yet to be fully locked down. This development is
creating waves of anticipation in the world of Bollywood, as fans eagerly await
official confirmation of Sunny Deol's participation in this epic cinematic
venture.
