Bollywood’s most awaited films Gadar 2 and OMG 2 were released on August 11, with a massive box office clash between them. Both films performed very well, and they were able to attract large numbers of audiences to the theaters. Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 earned Rs 85 crore net at the box office, while Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s film earned over Rs 284 crore within the first week of the release. However, the latest video of Sunny Deol where he is seen degrading the box office performance of Lagaan is going viral on the internet.
Ahead of the release, the lead actor, Sunny Deol elaborated on his film, Gadar 2, clashing with Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 and cited the example of his first part which had also faced a clash with Aamir’s Lagaan. During the interview, he said that Lagaan has collected just about 2 – 5% of Gadar’s numbers. Now it has to be seen how it will be the reaction of netizens/public to these comments of Sunny.
A few weeks back, Sunny Deol sat for a detailed interview with a leading Hindi news channel where he opened up about the competition and the clash different films with during the first and second installment. He told the News Channel, “Dekhiye, competition uss waqt bhi tha jab humne Gadar lagai thi aur Lagaan thi aur log Lagaan Lagaan kar rahe the. Maine socha hi nahi tha. Maine bola meri Gadar hai jo hoga so hoga. Because us waqt woh hamare koi shauq hai kaise logon ko pakadna banana uski hawa banana, main unme se hoon nahi. Toh woh hawa bahut bani hui thi.”
He further added, “Lekin jab dono pictures lagi – Lagaan I have not seen, but it was a very good film – but Gadar ne jo dandha (Business) kia woh uska not even 2%-5% dandha hoga jo Gadar ne kia tha. So when they compare it that way, I say ‘I don’t see the comparison, but definitely it was a good film.”
