Sunny Deol & Reema Lagoo Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Dillagi; the 2010s to I Love New Year. Sunny Deol acted in every film; Reema Lagoo acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Sunny Deol personally recommended Reema Lagoo for the role of his mother in Dillagi (1999). He had seen her work in Mahesh Bhatt films and told director Sunny Deol (yes, he directed it himself) that she'd bring the right emotional weight to the family drama.
• In Pyaar Koi Khel Nahin (1999), Reema Lagoo played Sunny Deol's mother again, but this time she deliberately underplayed every scene opposite his loud, angry outbursts. She told the director she wanted to create a contrast — his rage would feel bigger if she stayed quiet and still.
• Reema Lagoo once said in an interview that Sunny Deol would call her 'Maa' even off-camera on the sets of Dillagi. She found it sweet but also joked that he never stopped — even years later, when they ran into each other at events, he'd still greet her with 'Maa, kaise ho?'
• I Love New Year (2015) was the only film where Reema Lagoo played Sunny Deol's love interest, not his mother. The age-gap romance was widely mocked, and the film bombed so badly that neither actor worked together again. It effectively ended their on-screen pairing for good.
• "Sunny is a very intense actor, but with me he was always a child. He'd forget his lines and then look at me helplessly, like a son asking his mother for help." — Reema Lagoo, speaking about working with Sunny Deol on Dillagi, in a 2000 interview with Stardust.
