 "'Sunny ripped his pants in anger because SRK refused to...'")
Darr is one of the most iconic films of Shah Rukh Khan but Sunny Deol doesn’t have fond memories of that 1993 thriller. He once called it ’the biggest mistake’ due to the ’lies and manipulations.’ In a recent interview, the action director of that film Tinu Verma recalled how Deol ripped his pants in anger as Shah Rukh Khan refused to stab his character in the back.
Verma narrated, “Shah Rukh said I am not Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Gulshan Grover that I will attack on the back.” He added, “Sunny got so angry eventually that he had his hands in his pocket, and he pushed is hands so hard that his pants tore. Everybody was shocked. Shah Rukh was also there. And then pack-up was announced.”
Verma then revealed he was asked by Yash Chopra to think of a solution so that the shoot could happen. And if one sees that shot again, Deol is looking the other way and Khan suddenly stabs him in his stomach. He truly satiated both the stars’ egos or opinions.
It may have been a blockbuster changing the fortunes of Khan, Deol doesn’t really hold good memories of his filming experience. In an interview with Filmfare back in 2001 post the success of Gadar, Deol spoke about this unpleasant experience and what unfolded on the sets during the making.
He revealed, “If I were to start my career again, I would avoid a mistake called Darr. The making of the film was the worst experience of my life. I was sick of the manipulations and lies. One day in Switzerland, I was so angry that when I stuffed my hands into the pockets, I ripped the jeans I was wearing. ”He added, “I’ll never work with Yash Chopra again. He isn’t a man of his word. I don’t have good memories about him, he betrayed my faith in him.”
This could be the reason why Shah Rukh Khan was missing from the wedding reception of Deol’s son Karan Singh Deol and Drisha Acharya, with Aamir and Salman Khan in attendance.
