Sunny Deol is currently basking in the success of Gadar 2. The film has made him a huge amount of money – and is now approaching the Rs 500 crore mark. But at the same time there was some news about his house being auctioned in Juhu. However, the bank stopped the auction within a day of issuing a notification for the same. Now a famous director named Sunil Darshan has accused Sunny Deol of taking around two crore rupees from him and not returning it.
Andaz director Sunil Darshan blames Sunny Deol
Sunil Darshan is known for making films like Janwar, Ek Rishta and Andaz. He has argued with Sonny about it for 27 years, he claims. Sunil Darshan explained in an interview that it happened in 1996 when Sunny Deol took money from him to start a company. He wanted to show his films internationally and Darshan readily helped him with that. However, he claims that Sunny never returned the money to him. “Though he bought a lot of things for himself during that time,” Darshan claims.
Sunny went to London after taking money
Sunil recalled the time when Sunny was shooting for one of his films ‘Ajay’. He confided in Darshan about his ambitious plans and about his company and asked if he could get overseas rights for Ajay. Sunny even promised Darshan to return the amount in full. Darshan claims that Sunny told him that he had to go to London to collect the money and prepare and sign all the documents for the company. “I trusted him and signed,” rues Darshan.
Sunil Darshan further claimed that even though Sunny Deol’s representative came to collect the prints of the film, he did not pay him the money. He also revealed the excuse Sunny gave him that the banks in London were closed. “I trusted him again and gave him the prints. I wanted the money for months after that, but he kept avoiding me,” revealed Darshan.

Sunil Darshan explained that Sunny Deol even asked for money to make a film and promised to return everything. But after six months, Sunil still did not get the money. He tried for almost four years to get his money back, but Sunny Deol kept making excuses. They even went to court, but Sunny did not return the money. Sunil Darshan said, “After 27 years I am still waiting for my money. I have tried to talk to him many times but he does not want to return the money he owes me.”
