TellyChakkar interacted with Neeraj Pathak a few weeks ago and spoke to him about Sunny Deol, Apne 2 and more...
You have mainly directed projects that are of the thriller genre. So, are you attracted to thrillers?
Thriller is a genre that attracts me because there’s a lot of drama and it has the power to engage the audiences. So, that’s why, thrillers appeal to me. The first film that I wrote was Pardes, which was very different. Later, I also wrote Apne; both were family films and were super hits. I have worked on other genres as well, but I like thriller more.

You have worked with Sunny Deol in multiple projects. So, any plans of collaborating with him again?
Sunny Deol is my favourite. I have worked with him multiple times. I have also written the upcoming film Apne 2. I do have a couple of things in mind and I will try to get Sunny and Randeep Hooda together for a project. So, let’s see what happens.
When will Apne 2 go on the floors?
According to me, by the end of the year, Apne 2 will go on floors, after Gadar 2 releases. Karan Deol will play a pivotal role in it and it will star Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. The actresses are not yet finalised.
