In a recent conversation with a media outlet, the 65-year-old actor had some words of wisdom for budding actorsof today’s generation. Sunny urged them to focus on honing their acting skills rather than concentrating solely on dancing and building their physique.”You possess the talent. Channel it into acting. We aren’t just bodybuilders,” he said. While emphasizing the importance of fitness and recognizing music’s integral role in the Indian culture, he urged them to draw inspiration from actors who prioritize their craft over mere physical appearance.

He emphasized the timeless nature of our culture, values, and history. Sunny expressed the need for contemporary cinema to delve into history and culture to satisfy the younger generation’s curiosity about their roots and identity.
