Tough guy SUNIL SHETTY is nowadays facing the toughest time of his life. He has been having all big banner films going for him, but somehow they are failing to make it big at the box-office. First his much-hyped and lavishly- made film `Krishna' after getting a bumper initial flopped miserably, giving jitters to the man, who had over-confidently made a conscious effort to spread rumours of retirement to attract some pre-release publicity for the film. But as he continued signing new films every month, `Shastra', which had his very popular number `Kya ada kya jalwe tere Paro' with Anjali Jatthar, bombed. Even, reports of his recently released Jaydev Thackeray presentation `Sapoot' (co-starring Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor and Sonali Bendre) are also not favourable. So now, all of Sunil's hope's to resurrect his sagging career rest on `Rakshak' (where he again has another mass appeal number `Shehar ki ladki' with Raveena). And only time can tell how much of `raksha', `Rakshak' can provide to the Shetty. 

Down, but not out
