replay of the “Bhagat Singh” kind of confrontation between Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol has been averted.
Santoshi has withdrawn his proposed project to make “Prithviraj-Sanjukta” and the coast is clear for Chandraprakash Dwivedi to direct the historical romance with Sunny in the main lead.
After several lengthy sessions the director has finalised Sunny for the coveted part in his version of “Prithviraj-Sanjukta”.
“I first went all the way to Florida to meet Sunny. At that time I didn’t know Santoshiji was planning the same project. His one press statement about this project put brakes on my plans,” Dwivedi told IANS.
In 2002, Santoshi’s “The Legend of Bhagat Singh” starring Ajay Devgan in the title role clashed with Sunny’s home production “23rd March 1931: Shaheed”, which had his brother Bobby playing the martyr.
