Whether romance or films made on social issues, Devanand used to mold himself in every film that every character used to be alive. While following the map of the actor, his son also stepped into the film world. Like Sunil Dutt, Dharmendra, Devanand also launched his son in films, but his method was very unique.

Devanand and Sunil Anand
Devanand had taken up the responsibility of making son a hero
Sunil Anand returned after many years
After the back-to-back flop of four consecutive films, Sunil Anand took a long break from acting tired. He got involved in the task of refining and carving his skills. After a long break of many years, Sunil made a comeback in 2001 with the Marshial Art Film Master. Along with playing an important role in this film, he also took command of its direction, but despite taking control of his hands, he could not change his luck. After flopping as a director too, Sunil Anand accepted the fact that perhaps his luck was not successful in films.
Producer became after father’s death
Before Devanand’s death, Sunil used to work with him as an assistant. He was an assistant director at his father’s production house Navkatan, but after Devanand’s death in 2011, Sunil took up the responsibility of Navketan Films as a producer, but regrettably he could not handle his father’s legacy.
