Bombay High Court Restores Suneel Darshan's Appeal Against Sunny Deol in Film Dispute
The Bombay High Court has restored filmmaker Suneel Darshan's appeal against actor Sunny Deol in their long-standing legal dispute over the shelved 2008 film Good Morning India. Darshan had sued Deol for ₹20 crore, alleging financial losses after Deol exited the project despite initially agreeing to star and provide shooting days. The court allowed the appeal's restoration with a ₹15,000 cost, reviving challenges to a 2015 judgment that upheld an arbitral award partially favoring Deol. Both parties have yet to comment.
