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.
