Sunny Deol Sues Radio Station

Sunny Deol today sued Big 92.7 for Defamation and demanded 200 crore as damages. The show which is being referred to here is 'Son Sunny With Papa', you must have heard it several times on Radio, atleast we do it almost daily either on our way to or from office. The Mimicry is very good but they actually project a bad image of the actor. Sunny was of the opinion that "Mimicry is good and healthy but shouldn't go below the belt". He was furious that the radio channel spoofed his style of dialogue delivery and used it as a filler item to 'entertain' people.

To quote Sunny : "It is cheap comedy and in very bad taste. A film artist and particularly an artist, who is holding an image of lead hero/macho man, cannot be portrayed as a funny/comic figure before the people at large and that too, casually and or/regularly such that he becomes a laughing stock".

I believe that the matter has been dragged a bit to much, the Radio stations should refrain themselves from promoting such type of programs that may hurt the sentiments of any person and the stars should also be cool enough to accept these things gleefully. What shall be the outcome of the case remains to be seen. The Radio station has been issued a notice of 7 days to pay the damages. Let us hope that things shape up well and in future such conflicts do not arise.

  1. Funny Sunny is okay for me. This is no copyright. There is nothing offending in the program. If Mr. Deol had issue with the program he should have complained earlier, not after the program is popular. I feel he seem to be frustrated as he is getting no meaty role for quite some time.
    As for his image of a macho not wanting to be portrayed as comic, then why he did try to grab comedy roles for which he was utter misfit.

  2. It is OK for me as well. I also believe that this is an umwanted move by Sunny. Also 200 crore is a good amount and may be he is taking it as a way to earn something as all other filmy options are not yielding money. :)
