In his new film Daddy Cool Sunil Shetty had to deliver a long speech in memory of his dead character’s father.
Sunil for the first time dug into his own emotions and thought of his own father. “It was a rousing moment for me. I forgot I was acting a part. I became my own father’s son while speaking of my character’s father.”
Though Daddy Cool is an official remake of Frank Oz’s 2007 comedy Death At A Funeral, Sunil Shetty who plays the role of the elder son at his father’s funeral (played by Matthew MacFeyden in the original) says the emotions have been completely changed.
