After acting in several films with anti-Pak rhetoric, Sunny Deol is now taking a U-turn.
The brawny actor is playing a patriot Pakistani in producer-director Ammtoje Mann's movie Kaafila . This role will be a complete departure for Deol who has acted in films like Gadar , Border and Maa Tujhhe Salaam , all of which showed him taking on the Pakis.
Although such jingoistic roles appealed to some moviegoers, they did not go down well with a section of viewers in India and abroad.
So Sunny has now taken a complete turnaround and is playing a pro-Pak role in Kaafila.
The film also stars two Pakistani actresses – Sana Nawaz (who has already established her name in Pak film industry) and Mona Lisa (a Pakistani television actress).
Kaafila is slated to hit the theatres in November. The film has been shot in many countries including Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, UK and India (Manali, Ladakh).
Before Kaafila, Sunny will be seen in Naksha which releases in September.
