As 'Ghayal' completed 36 years on June 22, 2026, actor Sunny Deol took a stroll down memory lane, recalling shooting for the hit action drama.
He shared that it was his late father and legendary actor Dharmendra's belief and director Rajkumar Santoshi's writing that made the film possible. Sunny also shared a video which consists of his iconic scenes from the film. "Papa's belief and Raj's writing made Ghayal possible. Your love made it immortal," he captioned the post. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ46LvmJFww/?hl=en 'Ghayal' highlighted the fight for justice fought by Ajay Mehra on behalf of his family and himself. He was accompanied the whole time by Meenakshi Seshadri, who portrays Varsha Bharti, his love. Balwant Rai, played by Amrish Puri, who won praise for the part, is another difficult character to forget.
