Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, who has been embroiled in a legal battle with Sunny Deol for over a decade after the actor allegedly walked out of Darshan’s film Good Morning India in 2008, is back to seeking legal recourse.
The filmmaker had originally sued Deol for ₹20 crore, alleging losses after the actor walked out of the project. His petition was dismissed in a 2015 judgement. However, on Thursday, the Bombay High Court allowed Darshan to restore his appeal against the earlier judgement, while imposing a cost of ₹15, 000.
The working relationship between Darshan and Deol spanned three films — Inteqaam (1988), Lootere (1993), Ajay (1996) — before eventually turning bitter. Despite the fallout, Darshan had earlier said he continued to respect the Deol family.
