Deol, who joined BJP on April 23, has already come under electoral crosshairs of the party's rivals with Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh terming him a 'filmi fauji'.
"Sunny Deol is a 'filmi fauji,' while I am a 'real fauji.' Captain Amarinder Singh had said in Gurdaspur on Friday.
The actor held his first roadshow in Rajasthan's Barmer on Saturday.
