His upcoming film Poster Boys is set around the topic of vasectomy and actor Sunny Deol says it is essential to highlight relevant issues in an entertaining way through cinema.
Poster Boys is inspired by a real-life incident about three porters who found their pictures on a poster advertising vasectomy. "There are several things that are supposed to be taboo. Ten years ago, nobody would have thought of it as a film. These ideas keep cropping up as and when society and cinema evolve and things change around us. It is important to highlight issues that are relevant in society; such subjects need to be tackled," Deol says.
The actor, who ruled the industry in the '90s with action films, believes cinema has the power to make people think about issues that are often brushed under the carpet.
"People go to theatres for entertainment and if they get the message as well, then that's good. Cinema has been a reflection of society and it works otherwise as well." The actor says his intention is to always give his best to every film he does. "We do our best when we are shooting and once the work is done we don't know if we have got it right or not. But we always try to be right."
Poster Boys is a remake of the 2014 Marathi film of the same name, which Shreyas Talpade had produced. "I have not seen the Marathi film. I prefer to go with the vision of the director," adds Deol, who is also shooting for the comedy, Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se.
