Doesn't Vijeta Films launch actors properly, asks Sunny on YRF, Karan backing son

When one talks of star kids being launched, names like Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions come up as launch pads as many recent successes have come from those camps. But Sunny Deol is pretty indignant when asked as to why he chose to launch his son Karan Singh, rather than let him be launched by these banners, known to launch fresh faces in romantic movies.

Sunny is launching Karan himself in Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas. “Doesn’t Vijeta Films launch actors properly? Is there some kind of a glamour that goes missing when we launch anyone?’ he asks angrily.

“Every Deol was launched by Vijeta. Vijeta Films launched me in Betaab, Bobby (Deol) in Barsaat and Abhay (Deol) in Socha Na Tha. I am Karan’s father. Don’t you think that I will do what is best for my son? Even if another banner was to launch him, Vijeta would have come on board as a producer along with them,” says Sunny.

The actor mentions that it is not about the production house, but the story. “If another production house was launching him and we had asked to have our say on the story of the film, there would have been ego clashes. It is about how good a story it is that launches Karan and that we know is under control when we produce the film,” he signs off.
