Long earlier than Hollywood witnessed the field workplace conflict of two huge releases Barbie and Oppenheimer, Bollywood noticed the same phenomenon. Nearly 22 years in the past, Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 and Aamir Khan’s Lagaan clashed on the field workplace. Both movies did exceedingly effectively and went on to realize cult standing. While Gadar went on to emerge because the highest-grossing Hindi movie since Hum Apace Hain Koun..!, Lagaan turned the third highest-grossing Hindi movie of the 12 months and earned critical acclaim. Now, forward of Gadar 2′s launch, the movie’s main man Sunny Deol has spoken in regards to the epic conflict. Sunny Deol’s tackle the difficulty comes at a time when Gadar 2 can be set to witness a field workplace conflict with Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2. 

Speaking to ETimes, Sunny Deol stated, “Gadar did 100 crore plus, while Lagaan did much lesser. I don’t understand why people compare – whether it’s from the business or likeability point. Gadar didn’t have the perception, people thought it is this masala film, yeh puranic type ki picture hail, purines type ke gainer hay. On the other hand, people thought Lagaan was classic, etc. The so-called people who talk about films had run down Gadar completely. It went on to become a people’s film, and they loved it. At award shows, I remember that they made a spoof of Gadar, but we weren’t bothered by it. It has happened with some of my other films too, like Khayal and Dil [another Aamir Khan film], which clashed. There is no comparison, but people like to do it. What I am trying to say is that jo film zyada acchi hoti hai phir bhi aap usko doosre films ke barabari mein le aatey ho.Jis cheez ki barabari nahin hai, mat karo [Don’t compare two things that are not on the same level].”

In Gadar 2, Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel can be reprising their roles of Tara Singh and Sakeena. While the primary movie was a cross-border love story set within the background of partition, Gadar 2 is about towards the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani warfare.

About the movie, Sunny Deol said, “Gadar – Ek Prem Katha has been an eminent part of my life, personally as well as professionally. Tara Singh from Gadar isn’t just a protagonist but went on to become a cult icon that defied all odds and crossed all boundaries for his Family and Love. Collaborating with the team after 22 years was a creatively enriching experience.”
