A year before Betaab, Sunny worked as a body double, in his father, Dharamendra's film.
Sunny Deol has completed 40 years in Bollywood, and he has given some major blockbusters, especially in his initial career. The action star made his acting debut in Bollywood with the romantic drama, Betaab (1983). Rahul Rawail's directorial gave a perfect launch to Dharmendra's son. Betaab is Sunny Deol's debut film as an actor, but it was not his first big screen appearance. Before Betaab, Sunny did appear in a film, not as an actor, but as a body double.
When Sunny Deol became a body double
Interestingly, not many people know that a year before Betaab, Sunny worked as a body double for his father. In the 1982 film, Main Intaquam Loonga, Sunny did the one-hand pushup scene during the title song. This interesting fact was revealed by Dharmendra himself. I'm 2020, he shared the photo of young Sunny performing one-hand pushup. He wrote, "Main intqaam loon ga. Sunny was called for this shot. Ek haath par PUSH-UP, mere bas main naa tha."
