Sunny Deol compares North and South filmmakers

Sunny Deol-starrer Jaat will be directed by Gopichand Malineni and produced by the Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory.

Sunny shared a message to Mumbai producers. Calling the producers of Jaat “so good”, Sunny said, “I want producers of Bombay to learn (from them). You all call it Bollywood, but first refer to it as Hindi cinema, and learn how to make cinema with love (from south filmmakers)…I thoroughly enjoyed working with all of them. I told them (makers), ‘Let’s do another film’. Maybe I shall go and settle there (in the South).”

Sunny of if Hindi cinema is trailing

When he was asked where Hindi cinema was lagging behind, the actor said it wasn't the case. "Earlier, the producer used to like a story when the director narrated it. Then they would commit themselves to making it. Later, the corporates came in and then it became very commercial. In all of this, people lost interest (in filmmaking). Everyone became a victim. The people who had hunger (for filmmaking) were left behind," he added.

According to the makers, Jaat is a high-octane drama with larger-than-life action sequences. It will be released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages. Randeep Hooda, Vineet Kumar Singh, Saiyami Kher and Regina Cassandra also round up the cast of the film.
