Dharmendra made 'Ghayal' to enhance his son's career, Sunny Deol refused to attend the premiere

Sunny Deol may be telling a success story today, but there was a time when 11 of Sunny's films flopped one by one. At such a time, Papa Dharam came forward to groom his son's faltering film career. In the year 1990, under the direction of Rajkumar Santoshi, Dharmendra made the film 'Ghayal', although no one was ready to make a film on this story, Sunny requested his father.

Papa heard the story of the film, he liked it and Dharmendra agreed to produce the film. Dharmendra did not want to leave any stone unturned to make this film based on action drama a hit. That's why wanted to cast Sridevi opposite his son Sunny, although the film was made with Meenakshi Seshadri and their pairing was a tremendous hit on the film screen. This film dominated from the box office to the Filmfare Awards function, while father Dharmendra and Sunny himself were very scared about the film.

The tremendous success of 'Ghayal' not only groomed Sunny Deol's career, but made the way forward easier by clearing the clouds in the sky to fly for success. This film, which was a super duper hit, also earned a lot at the box office and won many awards, although both Rajkumar Santoshi and Dharmendra were very scared about this film at the time of making the film. Father Dharmendra's troubles were also inevitable for Sunny's star to shine, but Sunny's film became a turning point in his career. Neither Sunny nor Dharmendra nor director Rajkumar Santoshi knew about it, but there was a person who had full faith in Sunny.

Sridevi had turned down the offer of 'Ghayal'

'Ghayal' established Sunny Deol as an action hero and also gave a kick to the actor's career. The strong dialogues of the film and the wonderful acting of Sunny Deol had won everyone's heart. Dharmendra wanted to cast Sridevi in this film, but at that time many actresses refused to do films with Sunny. In an interview given to 'Catch News', Sunny himself told that 'when Sridevi was approached for the film, she rejected the film's offer.

Due to Sunny Deol there was tension

When Sridevi refused to do the film, Rajkumar Santoshi suggested the name of Meenakshi Sheshadri. It is said that Rajkumar had a soft corner for Meenakshi, he used to like her very much. Well, when the film was released, the pairing of Meenakshi and Sunny did wonders. After this the pair worked together in many films. Dharmendra and Rajkumar even Sunny himself were scared before the release of the film but Meenakshi was very confident. It is said that Sunny Deol was so scared that he refused to go to the premiere of the film. Due to this attitude of Sunny, the whole team came under tension. Actually, Sunny was afraid that if 'Ghayal' did not work like his previous 11 films, then what face would he show to his father?

Meenakshi Seshadri was very impressed with Sunny Deol

While working with Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Seshadri was impressed by Sunny's dedication towards her work, her personality, dialogue delivery, acting. Told in an interview to the media that 'I could not say to what extent the film would run or be successful, but I had full faith in Sunny'. However, Sunny got more credit for the success of the film than Meenakshi Seshadri.
