Superstar Dharmendra, who has often shared screen space with his children and actors Sunny and Bobby, says that poor star sons often face a lot of criticism from people.
The octogenarian Bollywood veteran has backed his sons’ films like Betaab, Ghayal and Barsaat as a producer. He has even acted with them in movies such as Apne, Yamla Pagla Deewana and most recently Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se, which released last month.
Asked about the pros and cons of working with his children, Dharmendra told IANS: “If the subject is good, then everything is good. You can make out the chemistry between us. They are good and loving kids. They listen to me. I also listen to them. There is no complex. It’s so easy to work with each other.”

“Otherwise, we can’t tell other artistes to do this or they can’t tell me to do this. It’s a very delicate matter. We discuss and work together.”
He can’t point out the negative things about joining forces with his family, but he feels that star sons are often compared to their famous parents.
“It’s negative for them. People make it little difficult while comparing star sons. People often compare and say so and so is star son. They face some problems for sure because of that. People say ‘he is not like his father’. They have to face so much of criticism… poor star sons,” said the Chupke Chupke actor.
Like him, Sunny is set to launch his son Karan Deol in the upcoming film Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas. Will Dharmendra also act in it?
“No, I am not there. Sunny did it himself. They should come up themselves. If we get a good story, then we will work together also,” he said.
