When Karan Deol makes his debut with an eagerly-awaited Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas on Friday, it will mark the arrival of the third generation of the Deols in the film industry.
Karan’s grandfather, the legendary Dharmendra had begun his career with Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere in 1960 after winning a talent hunt contest. Six decades on, the patriarch of the family is betraying no intentions to hang up his boots.
Karan’s dad and Dharmendra’s son, Sunny Deol is also still going strong 36 years after his launch under his home banner in Betaab (1983). Sunny, now a Lok Sabha MP from Gurdaspur in Punjab has wielded the megaphone for the maiden film of his son, who is cast opposite another newcomer, Simmer Bimba.
