Sunny Deol is wooing a different 'crowd' these days. Known for his action roles that require him to spew lines like 'Jab yeh dhai kilo ka haath kisi pe padta hai', the actor goes in for a sleek look in Deepak Tijori's Fox. This psychological thriller is also Deol's first project that is targetted at a multiplex audience. The actor-director's films are usually a draw in the northern belt and are popular at single screen theatres.
Kuch alag
"The audience has this certain image of him as an actor due to the kind of films he has done. But Fox portrays Sunny Deol in a new light a far cry from his known image. At the same time, we have not resorted to any distinct styling to make him look different," says Tijori who is finally working with the actor after two projects planned with him never took off. "I have been thrice lucky with Sunny but it has been well worth the wait. He has just begun shooting and it's a start-to-finish schedule."
Apart from Sunny, the cast of Fox includes Arjun Rampal, Sagarika Ghatge and Udita Goswami. "As the title implies the animal is associated with cunningness and the film's script takes on this crafty characteristic of the animal. It is a stylised thriller," adds Tijori. The film is being produced by Zee along with Rohit Kumar (son of filmmaker Mohan Kumar). It is written by Tijori as well.
From August 3, the Fox unit begins a month's schedule in Goa. "We will be shooting in north and south Goa and as it will be an outdoor shoot and we're hoping that the rains don't play spoilsport," informs Tijori who earlier directed Oops!, Khamosh... Khauff Ki Raat, Fareb and Tom Dick And Harry.
