Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s blockbuster film, “Gadar 2,” has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the lifetime collection of Prabhas’ magnum opus, “Baahubali 2 (Hindi).” Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the remarkable news on Monday, revealing that “Gadar 2” has now become the “second highest-grossing Hindi film” with a total collection of ₹515 crore.
In its fifth week at the box office, “Gadar 2” continued to draw audiences and added ₹5.03 crore to its impressive earnings. Taran Adarsh shared the film’s journey, stating, “Gadar 2 crosses the lifetime business of Baahubali 2 Hindi…Becomes the second-highest-grossing Hindi film. Week 1: ₹284.63 crore. Week 2: ₹134.47 crore. Week 3: ₹63.35 crore. Week 4: ₹27.55 crore. Weekend 5: ₹5.03 crore. Total: ₹515.03 crore.”
Amid the soaring success of “Gadar 2,” Sunny Deol made an appearance on the talk show “Aap Ki Adalat.” During the show, he addressed rumors regarding his fee hike and clarified his stance on the matter. Dismissing the fee hike speculations, Sunny Deol explained, “Paise kya lene hai nahi lene hai, woh to producer…wahi dega jitna usse pata hai woh bana sakta hai [The producer will decide how much they want to pay an actor, depending on how much they earn].”
He further added, “If the producer feels they can pay me that much, I am okay with it. Main yeh nahi kahunga ke nahi main nahi karunga, mujhe itna nahi mila [I won’t say no to projects because I am not paid a certain amount]. That’s not how I work. I like to be in a position where I don’t become a burden to a project.”
“Gadar 2” is the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2001 blockbuster “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha,” featuring the iconic duo of Ameesha Patel and Sunny Deol reprising their roles as Tara Singh and Sakeena. The film also introduces director Anil Sharma’s son, Utkarsh Sharma, in a prominent role.
As “Gadar 2” continues to make waves at the box office, it cements its position as one of the most successful Bollywood films, securing its place in the annals of Hindi cinema history.
