Renowned producer Sourav Gupta today announced a series of unfortunate events and serious allegations concerning Bollywood star Sunny Deol, who was signed as the main hero for the film back in 2016.
In 2016, Sourav Gupta signed Sunny Deol to star in his film, paying a substantial signing amount of INR 1 crore. However, Sunny Deol failed to fulfil his contractual obligations and did not participate in the film's production as initially agreed. This marked the beginning of a protracted series of delays and complications.

Apr 14, 2026By 2019, Sunny Deol, along with his associates, suggested that the original film concept had become outdated. They proposed a new director and writer, but once again, Sunny Deol rejected the script, causing further delays in the project. Despite these setbacks, Sourav Gupta remained committed to producing the film.
In April 2023, Sunny Deol approached Sourav Gupta with a new idea inspired by the landmark Ayodhya Ram Temple judgment. Sunny Deol suggested producing a film based on the life of the advocate who played a pivotal role in the case, ultimately succeeding in the Supreme Court. Sunny Deol insisted on changing the writer and director once more but continued to delay the project. Eventually, Sunny Deol informed Sourav Gupta that producing a film on this subject was not feasible.
During this period, Sunny Deol demanded additional financial support from Sourav Gupta for his son’s wedding, which Gupta felt compelled to provide. Despite receiving various payments through RTGS and cheques, documented and reflected in Sourav Gupta’s ledger accounts, Sunny Deol and his associates continued to cause disruptions. They further increased Deol's fee and eventually refused to proceed with the film altogether.

Apr 14, 2026These actions led to significant financial losses and allegations of deceit and misconduct. Sourav Gupta has accused Sunny Deol and his associates of conspiring to defraud him, committing forgery by altering the pages of the signed agreement, and engaging in criminal breach of trust and cheating.
The producers have documented evidence of all payments made and are contemplating legal action against Sunny Deol and his associates for the substantial financial and professional damages incurred.
