Sunny Deol is not just known for his powerful performances and blockbuster action roles. According to actor Puneet Issar, Deol’s off-screen lifestyle is nothing short of royal.
Currently preparing to play Lord Hanuman in the upcoming mega-budget film Ramayana, Deol has stunned fans not with a teaser—but with the way he travels to shooting locations.
A Moving Palace: Chef, Gym & Badminton Court
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Puneet Issar shared eye-opening details about Deol’s travel habits. He said:
> “Sunny is truly a kingly man. He doesn’t travel alone. He brings his personal chef, a fully-equipped gym, and even a badminton court along.”
Issar added that a separate truck is arranged to transport all the equipment. Once on location, Deol sets up a full gym and other facilities by himself—never burdening the film’s producers.
> “He pays for it all. That’s what makes him a true gentleman and a royal man,” said Issar.
