THE MAN WE LOVE TO HATE IN YODHA

‘Everybody has their bit of struggles and learnings. It will only end when you stop breathing.’

Sunny Hinduja comes from the league of talented actors who found breakthrough success in the OTT space.

Thanks to his popularity with shows like Aspirants, Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare and The Railway Men, he is making a 'big leap' and finding his footing in films.

His latest outing was the villainous avatar in the Karan Johar production Yodha, starring Sidharth Malhotra.

Since his childhood, Indore-born Sunny has always been an avid watcher of cinema and decided to hone his skills at the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune, before making his move to Mumbai to pursue his acting aspirations.

"My dad also wanted to be an actor. He could not pursue acting because of family responsibilities. I just knew that this is what I want to do,"

Is there a sense of validation when you land a film like Yodha?

At a personal level, it brings in more responsibility. It also brings in the assurance that the things we've been doing are right. It also brings in a lot of love.It gives you more exposure within the industry.

It's a Karan Johar film, and has a wider reach. It has more industry eyes, more public eyes.`It's a big leap from where I was.

Like you said, it's a Karan Johar film, that itself has a brand value attached to it. What was your reaction when this film was offered to you?

It was a no brainer for me. I've been a fan of Dharma and Yash Raj Films since my childhood. It is like a dream come true.

Were you disappointed that your name was kept under the wraps during the film's promotions?

It was all happening for the film. (My character) was a big surprise in the film.
