Another reason was that I have seen 'Death At A Funeral' and I simply love the film. I was dying to do a role like this. So when I was offered this role, it took me less than a minute to say yes,' the actor explained.

Suniel made his acting debut with action movie 'Balwaan' in 1992 and was later seen in high-paced action thrillers like the 1994 hit 'Mohra'. After that he came to be known as the action star and did films like 'Dilwale', 'Border', 'Prithvi', 'Kaante' and 'Main Hoon Na' among others.

But he also tickled the funny bones of viewers with comedies such as 'Hera Pheri', 'Awara Paagal Deewana' and 'Phir Hera Pheri'.

The actor says he hasn't completely shown his back to the action genre and two of his hardcore action films will go on floors next year. But he adds that comedy is something that he loves to do because its not physically taxing.

'I love doing comedies. It is not taxing on the body at all. Of course it's tough as a performer, a lot of homework, but then physically it is not very burdensome. When you are doing action, you are breaking some or the other bone, scratching some part of your body or the other. So comedies are far more relaxed,' he said.

After 'Daddy Cool', Suniel will be seen in a bouquet of films like 'De Dana Dan', 'Loot', 'Red Alert' and 'Tum Milo Toh Sahi'.
