While most believed that it was the actor’s PR team, Sunny fans were happy to assume that RDJ knew their hero.
Over the thousands of comments that flooded the post, some reacted by saying, “With all due respect, anyone can walk coolly when protected by the Iron Man suit. But no one can beat Sunny Deol whether it’s walking in front of an explosion or in front of 100 enemies after killing 2 dozen of them with a hand-pump (courtesy: Gadar).”
