I've Never Read a Script in My Career: Sunny Deol

Mumbai, Nov 24: Thirty five years and several blockbusters later, actor Sunny Deol says his process of working in a film is purely "instinctive" where he is more interested in listening to the storyteller than reading scripts.

For Sunny, it is a matter of choice that he avoids reading scripts as he believes he might look at them with a "certain mindset" and hence prefers to hear them straight from the writers.

"I am a very instinctive person. I hear an idea, a thought and if it is good and I like it, I just jump for it. I don't go into the detailings of it. Right now, you need to do that but back then filmmaking was different. I never read scripts," Sunny told news agency.

"I just hear the idea from the director and go for it. I have always interacted with the story writer and heard the subject because that's what is going to eventually come over on screen," he adds.

Since his debut in 1983 with "Betaab", Sunny has featured in some strong content driven films like "Ghayal", "Damini", "Darr" and "Gaddar Ek Prem Katha", among others.

A process of not reading scripts can be considered risky but Sunny still goes by his instincts while giving nod to a film.

"One never takes it as gamble. I do it because I love it and I'm enjoying the story. Obviously sometimes in the journey you realise the production, the director, writer, or some things are going here and there but you don't disown it. You don't run away because it's everyone's baby," he says.

The actor is seen in "Bhaiaji Superhit", which also features Priety Zinta and Arshad Warsi.

The film is set in Sunny's familiar territory, action-comedy, but the actor says it does not mean he goes to the sets thinking it will be a cakewalk.

"I don't think I have ever worked with the attitude that 'This is easy I can do it.' Hats off to those who say and do it. For me, I need to enjoy it. You can't be nervous while performing a scene because then you wouldn't be able to," he says.

The 62-year-old actor, however, is aware that to stay relevant, he has to pick up roles which move according to times.

"I cannot be a teenager in films. You move accordingly and your experience makes you do certain subjects which you wouldn't have done when you were younger. As the time goes, you interact and become more aware of certain things.

"It'll be stupid if I still want to play a college boy. Besides that nobody would want to make it also. It's only when the filmmakers know that this actor can pull it off, is when they approach you," he adds.

Directed by Neerraj Pathak and produced by Chirag Dhariwal, "Bhaiaji Superhit" releases on Friday.

"All we can really do is try our utmost to adapt and confront each challenge with courage. As a nation, and as a people, it is our duty to give it all we've got. I am going to try my best and I know each one of you will do so too. Only together we will able to fight through these difficult and unimaginable days. Together. we will overcome," he said.

Los Angeles, Mar 24: In a bizarre video shot from her rose petal filled bathtub, pop star Madonna has called the coronavirus pandemic "a great equaliser".

The music icon said the virus doesn't discriminate between rich and poor.

That's the thing about COVID-1. It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell.

It's the great equaliser and what's terrible about it is what's great about it. What's terrible about it is that it's made us all equal in many ways, and what's wonderful about is, is that it's made us all equal in many ways, Madonna said in the video while having a milky bath in tub full of roses.

The 61-year-old singer, who had to cancel two of her concerts in Paris due to coronavirus outbreak, also referenced her 1995 song Human Nature in the video saying we are all going down together .

According to the Johns Hopkins coronavirus tracker, the death toll from the virus globally has risen to 14,641 with 336,000 cases reported in 173 countries and territories.
