Readers would recall that the trailer launch of Rajveer Deol and Paloma Dhillon starrer Dono was held in Mumbai on September 4. The launch pad for these star kids was given by Rajshri Productions with Avnish Barjatya, son of popular filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya, making his directorial debut with this romantic drama. At the launch, Rajveer revealed that his father Sunny Deol was not at all happy with him choosing acting as his career. “My parents hated the fact that I’m becoming an actor. They wanted me to study and do something else, because this industry is so unpredictable. You are happy for a second and miserable for not getting work.” Referring to how his father got a blockbuster with Gadar 2 after two decades, Rajveer added, “I mean, dad got a hit after 22 years. So, they were worried, because it’s such a mentally draining line. But I just fell in love with acting, I couldn’t get enough of it. Even now they wish I was doing something else.”

 

When the parents finally accepted his decision, Rajveer also revealed the advice he got from them. “I felt one could just disguise themselves in the characters. So this is what I wanted to do. My family advised me to work hard. They told me not to be a star and try to be an actor first, as the characters will make me a star,” he maintained.

 

Rajshri Productions’ Dono is slated for release on October 5.
