Was Sunny Shooting for Safar?
Notably, a few fans of the actor even said that Sunny’s haters are deliberately misleading the public by claiming that the actor is under the influence of alcohol in the viral video.
They added that Sunny Deol is not drunk in the viral video nor is he randomly roaming in the middle of the road as the clip was recorded while the actor was shooting for his upcoming film Safar, helmed by Shawshank Udrapukar.
