Released in 1993, Darr became a talking point for its unusual portrayal of Shah Rukh Khan’s obsessive character against Sunny Deol’s hero, leading to a rift between the actors. Years later, Amitabh Bachchan revealed on Kaun Banega Crorepati that Sunny had torn his pants in anger. Now, Sunny has opened up about his equation with SRK and insecurity in the industry.

In a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Sunny was asked about that phase and his equation with Shah Rukh Khan. To this, he replied, “At a younger age, like I won't say that we don't have a little something with each other. We do have that. And I have never been like that. I am not an insecure person. I am never insecure on set. But because of insecurity, many actors do things which they don't have to do. Because we can only be the character we are.”
