Border 2 Co-Star Says Sunny Deol Lives ‘King Life’

While Sunny gears up for his divine role, his Border co-star Puneet Issar shared what it’s like hanging out with him off-screen. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Puneet called Sunny a king in real life too.

Puneet revealed, “Sunny raja aadmi hai. Woh jahan jaata hai raja ki tarah jata hai. Uska pura entourage chalta hai. Uske cooks bhi aayenge, badminton ka court bhi hoga, pura gym jayega.” 

He said Sunny travels like royalty by bringing his personal cooks, a badminton court, and even a full gym setup to shoot locations.

But what stood out was how Puneet described Sunny’s generosity. He said Sunny would send a truck ahead with his gear and even offer to carry others’ equipment. And despite the big setup, Puneet made it clear that Sunny paid for it all himself. 

He explained, “He is like a king, an emperor. That’s what Sunny is. I don’t think Sunny used to put the bill on the producer. That’s why I say voh raja aadmi hain, all on him.”

Puneet (best known for playing Duryodhana in Mahabharat) worked with Sunny in the 1997 war film Border, where he played Subedar Ratan Singh. The film also starred Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, and Akshaye Khanna.
