Sunny Deol plays the role of a Sanskrit teacher in Mohalla Assi.

The picturesque beauty of Varanasi revealed an old secret passion of Sunny Deol. Sunny was found capturing the beauty of Banaras while he was shooting for Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s upcoming satire Mohalla Assi.

Not many are aware that the daring Deol has been a closeted photographer for years now. When he wasn’t facing the camera, he was found imprisoning Banaras’ charm through his camera. His camera dangling on his shoulder, kept clicking as and when Sunny found the time in between his shots. He has captured the many colours of Banaras, the Ganga, different ghats, the morning ray of brightness, forts etc. A lot can be said about Banaras through his clicks.

Says a source from the sets of ‘Mohalla Assi’, “Every time Sunny got a chance he would start clicking pictures in his character. Seeing Sunnyji so enthusiastic about photography was a rare sight.”
