Sunny Deole’s Poster Boys to release on September 8

Sunny Deol’s Poster Boys is set around the topic of vasectomy and actor Sunny Deol says it is essential to highlight relevant issues in an entertaining way through cinema.

“Poster Boys is inspired by a real life incident about three porters who found their pictures on a poster advertising vasectomy. There are so many things that are supposed to be a taboo in the society but it's happening for years and years. Ten years ago, nobody would have thought of it as a film.These ideas keep cropping up as and when society and cinema evolve and things change around us. It is important to highlight issues that are relevant in society, it needs to be tackled,” said Deol.

The actor, who ruled the industry in the ‘90s with action films such as Ghayal, Ziddi, Damini and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, believes cinema has the power to make people think about issues that are often brushed under the carpet.

“People go to theatres for entertainment and if they get the message as well, then that's good. Cinema has been a reflection of society and it works otherwise as well.”

The comedy-drama film also features Bobby Deol and Shreyas in the lead and is set to release on September 8.
