Being a Jat, I will never step back: Dharmendra

MUMBAI : Veteran actor Dharmendra, who will be seen in his forthcoming release 'Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se' has said that being a Jat, he and his family will never step back from making films until they don't become successful in it.

Dharmendra was interacting with media at the trailer launch of the film along with his co-actors Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Kriti Kharbanda and director Navaniat Singh on Friday in Mumbai.

When asked when he and his sons decided to make the movie, he said: "Our dream was to make this fim. The First part of the franchise worked and the second part was a failure, but we are Jats and we will never step back.

"We keep putting in our efforts until we become successful. That's how we gathered courage to make and complete the film. If you don't chase your dreams, then your life is of no use. So, we hope audience will like our film."
