Sunny, who according to speculation, will get a ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Punjab's Gurdaspur after joining BJP, said, "PM Modi has done a lot for the country and I wish that he remains the prime minister for another five years. Our youth needs people like Modi ji."

"The way my father [veteran actor Dharmendra] worked with and supported Atal ji (Bihari Vajpayee, former Indian Prime Minister), I am here today to work with and support Modi ji. My work will do the talking," he added.
