Sunny Deol's grand entourage includes cooks, badminton court and gym, says co-star Puneet Issar: ‘Voh raja aadmi hai'
Bollywood icon Sunny Deol, known for his action-packed roles, is now gearing up to portray Lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious mythological film Ramayana. While fans eagerly await his divine avatar, his Border co-star Puneet Issar recently shared an interesting anecdote about Sunny's larger-than-life off-screen persona. Sunny Deol's grand entourage revealed by his co-star Puneet Issar.(PTI) In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Puneet opened up about Sunny's regal lifestyle while shooting on location. He said, "Sunny raja aadmi hai. Woh jahan jaata hai raja ki tarah jata hai. Uska pura entourage chalta hai. Uske cooks bhi aayenge, badminton ka court bhi hoga, pura gym jayega (Sunny is a royal kind of man. Wherever he goes, he goes like a king. His entire entourage travels with him. His cooks will come along, there will be a badminton court, a full gym setup). So a whole truck would go, so he will ask you that I am travelling with all of this weight, if there is anything that you also want to carry so he can load it up as well and then a gym is set up." Issar was quick to clarify that despite the grandeur, Sunny never passed the bill onto the producer. "He is like a king, an emperor. That's what Sunny is. I don't think Sunny used to put the bill on the producer. That's why I say voh raja aadmi hain (he is a royal person), all on him. Even Salman is like that. Why not? It's a requirement for them. Every star had a lot of people around them, be it." Puneet Issar rose to fame with his portrayal of Duryodhana in B.R. Chopra's iconic TV series Mahabharat. He also starred in major films like Coolie, Ram Jaane, and Border. In Border, he played Subedar Ratan Singh alongside Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, and Akshaye Khanna. The film was a blockbuster, and its sequel is currently in development with Sunny returning in the lead, joined by Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh. Sunny Deol's upcoming films Sunny is set to take on the role of Lord Hanuman in Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The recently released first look teaser introduced Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Yash as Ravana, with audiences particularly impressed by the film's high-end VFX. The epic will be released in two parts—one during Diwali 2026 and the second in 2027. He will also be seen in Lahore 1947, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, co-starring Preity Zinta, Ali Fazal, and Shabana Azmi.

Sunny Deol's Lavish Entourage Includes Gym, Cooks And Badminton Court, Says Puneet Issar: 'Raja Aadmi Hai'
Last Updated: Puneet Issar defends Sunny Deol's lavish entourage, saying the king-size travel costs didn't burden producers. As Bollywood struggles with soaring production costs and underperforming films, one ongoing debate is about the rising expenses caused by stars' large entourages. From personal chefs to stylists, these support teams often add significantly to a film's budget. But actor Puneet Issar recently shared a different take when recalling his experience working with Sunny Deol. During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Puneet remembered shooting Border (1997) and said Sunny has always travelled in style—but never at the producer's expense. 'Sunny raja aadmi hai. Woh jahan jaata hai raja ki tarah jata hai. Uska pura entourage chalta hai. Uske cooks bhi aayenge, badminton ka court bhi hoga, pura gym jayega." Puneet said Sunny even went the extra mile to accommodate others. 'He will ask you that I am travelling with all of this weight, if there is anything that you also want to carry so he can load it up as well." He added, 'Sunny is like king, like an emperor. That's the way Sunny Deol is." When asked if today's big entourages were impacting film budgets, Puneet said things were different earlier. 'I don't think Sunny would put the bill on the producer. That's why I said, he is a king. Even Salman is like that. It's a requirement, it's a must for them, they need it, they have to workout." He pointed out that having an entourage isn't new, citing stars from the golden era of Bollywood. 'Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, Dilip Kumar"—all of them had their people with them on set. Meanwhile, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has a more critical view of today's spending patterns. In a previous interview with Humans of Cinema, he said a lot of money is being wasted on things that don't improve the film itself. 'They are not spending the money on the film. People need to come back to this whole reality check. One thing people need to understand is that when we make a film, we're working, we're creating something. It's not a holiday, it's not a picnic. A lot of money that is spent doesn't go into making the film. It goes into the paraphernalia; it goes into the entourage. You're shooting in the middle of a jungle, but one car will be sent to the city three hours away specifically to get you that five-star burger you want. You don't get into the process of it."
