Sunny Deol and Gopichand Malineni’s work front

On the professional front, Sunny Deol was last seen in 'Gadar 2', the sequel to his 2001 hit 'Gadar' alongside Ameesha Patel. Both films were huge commercial successes.

Currently, he is filming director Rajkumar Santoshi's 'Lahore 1947', produced by Sunny and Aamir Khan's productions, with Preity Zinta playing a vital role. Sunny Deol also has 'Border 2' in the pipeline, expected to be released next year.

After the immense success of 'Veera Simha Reddy', director Gopichand Malineni announced a project with Ravi Teja. Reports of the project being shelved after just a month of its announcement started circulating.

The reasons cited were related to budget issues and the expenses that increased due to the remuneration of the stars and technicians on the team. However, there has been no official confirmation from the team yet.
