Rumour has it: Sunny Deol mortgages preview theatre to fund Ghayal sequel

The sequel to Sunny Deols 90s film Ghayal, was set to see the light of day, however the release of the film was again postponed for reasons best known to the maker. Now we hear that Ghayal Once Again will finally release on February 5, with Reliance Entertainment stepping in to distribute the film in India, while B4U will distribute the film internationally.

However, if rumours are to be believed, we hear that Sunny Deol has gone to great lengths to ensure that the film releases. In fact Sunny has mortgaged his preview theatre Sunny Super Sound to fund the making and subsequent release of the film. On the distribution part, it is being said that though Sunny was in talks with Viacom 18 to distribute the film, the deal fell through after the corporate production house made it clear that they would only release the film and not present it, in essence saying that while Sunny and the makers of Ghayal Once Again could use Viacoms distribution network the cost of distribution would be borne by them.

While the films and Sunnys official spokesperson denied these rumours, they claim that the delay in releasing the film was since Reliance Entertainment and Sunnys team required an extensive period to efficiently promote and distribute Ghayal Once Again. As of now, Reliance Entertainment has come on board and along with Sunny Deol will now be releasing Ghayal Once Again on February 5, 2016.
