Veteran actor Dharmendra and his son Sunny Deol both ruled Bollywood with their larger than life action hero image in different eras. It is clear that Sunny takes great inspiration from his father and in a recent interview with Pinkvilla, he talked about how Dharmendra is the only actor who was successful in every genre.

Sunny Deol told Pinkvilla, "He has never shied away from exploring different roles. Be it Satyakam, Chupke Chupke, Sholay, Pratigya, Phool Aur Phattar or Anupama – he has done it all. I wish I was an active actor in his era."

Sharing how the process or filmmaking used to be different in his father's time, Sunny said, "My dad used to shoot for many films in a day - from one set to the other. Imagine, how good the writer and directors were, that the actor could stick to their characters. They had no written scripts, it was just based on narrations,” he avers, adding further, “We have bind scripts in today’s time, but they are not close to what was done back in the day. I always keep thinking… I wish I was in that era.”
