We all remember the song 'Tu Hai Meri Kiran' from Darr. We all remember Shah Rukh Khan's iconic character of an obsessive lover from the film, but do we remember the big controversy surrounding the film back in 1990's?
Back then Sunny Deol was a huge deal in the industry with with films like Ghayal, Damini, Border, Ghatak to his credit. Deol was given a choice by Yash Chopra to play either Sunil Malhotra or Rahul Mehra in the film and the actor, of course, went ahead with the positive role i.e. Sunil Malhotra.
After watching the film, Sunny felt that the Chopras were unfair to him and did not deliver what was promised on paper and that they gave SRK an opportunity to hog all the limelight.
Having dealt with audiences before Deol had expected his positive character to find acceptance. However, things changed post the release of Darr. Shah Rukh Khan walked with all the public sympathy and also became the face of Yash Raj Films.
Post Darr, Sunny Deol swore to break all ties with Yash Raj Films and since then the actor has never worked with either Shah Rukh Khan or the YRF camp.
