Sunny Deol, who started shooting for Gadar 2 recently, preferred to keep a safe distance from social media. But that’s changing now. The actor says, “I have become a little better at it now. I can only do things that allow me to function the way I like. I can’t post things for the heck of it. I can’t match the craziness, but now I have begun to post things that I like talking about — like my parents, children, siblings. Gradually, I will get around this also.”

In recent times, Sunny has also begun to actively scout for projects to work in. He has completed work on R Balki’s next with Pooja Bhatt and soon after Gadar 2, he’s expected to put Apne 2 back on track. He’s also in talks for a few other projects.

Bring this up and he says, “There is so much happening. There’s so much that people talk about me, but I am still struggling to sign a good film. That is the irony of our country. For how many more years do I have to prove that I am a good enough actor? Things have changed a lot. I had stopped acting in films, but now I want to do four-five films a year like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn. I am sure usmein se ek to chalegi.”

He continues, “I have decided I will do five films a year and that will be my achievement. I have done very little work in the last 15 years. I wasted a lot of time, but now I have to take my career forward with good films. Currently, I am working on some good projects. Digital platforms have opened up a wide range of things an actor can do. There is an audience for everything and nothing never goes to waste. Someone or the other is lapping it up. So, I may as well try doing that, too. For an actor, this is paradise where there is no border, no boundary. They can choose to do whatever they want. I feel some subjects are great for the big screen and some are great for digital.”
