Today, taking the advantage of national holiday, the film is expected to collect in the range of 57Cr net, which is nothing but sensational because the number will be more than the Sunday’s figure. The trade is very certain that the film is heading towards Bollywood’s industry hit status in India.

The film has crossed the 200cr net mark today and for 5 days it will be around a stunning number of 230Cr and the bookings also looking strong for tomorrow, which indicates a healthy number for tomorrow also. If the same trend continues, the movie will definitely break the current all-time record number of Pathaan [525Cr] net in India.

In Sunny Deol’s 40-year career, Gadar 2 has already established itself as his biggest hit. The 65-year-old actor has expressed his gratitude to the audience all over for showering the film with such love.

Actor Rana Daggubati regrets the negativity faced by Actress Sonam Kapoor following his recent comments. Rana did not mention Sonam’s name at an event in Hyderabad, but he said that a ‘Bollywood heroine’ was wasting the time of actor Dulquer Salman on the set of their film. Sonam and Dulquer worked together on The Zoya Factor.

In a new tweet, Rana clarified his comments and even apologized to Sonam and Dulquer. “I am genuinely troubled by the negativity that has been aimed at Sonam due to my comments, that are totally untrue and were meant entirely in a light-hearted manner. As friends, we often exchange playful banter, and I deeply regret that my words have been misinterpreted,” he said.

He added, “I take this opportunity to express my heartfelt apologies to Sonam and Dulquer, both of whom I hold in great esteem. I hope this clarification puts an end to any speculation and misunderstanding. Thank you for your understanding”.

At a pre-release event for King of Kotha, the media reported that Rana said, “Dulquer was my cadet at actor school. We became friends there. He is a very polite person. He’s doing a Hindi movie and the producers are my friends. The shoot was happening near my house. I went there to meet Dulquer.”

He continued, “While he was standing in the corner with the spot boy, a big Hindi heroine who was doing that movie was engrossed in a phone conversation about shopping in London with her husband. Her lack of focus affected the quality of the shots, frustrating those on set. Dulquer remained patient and understanding despite the disruptions caused by the situation, defusing tension and maintaining a harmonious environment” said Rana.

However, Rana was too upset by the incident back then, and he went to confront the film’s producers about the same thing.

The Canadian citizenship has always been a source of criticism against Akshay Kumar. Earlier this year, during an interview with a Media channel, the actor said that India means everything to him and that he has already asked for a change of passport.

In the 1990s, he experienced a period of leanness in his career when he delivered over 15 consecutive failures, which led him to apply for Canadian citizenship. Due to not voting in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, his citizenship status was under intense scrutiny.

After conducting a ‘non-political’ interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi before the elections, the matter became a topic of discussion. Now, finally Akshay got the Indian Citizenship.

While on the professional front, the actor has finally seen a hit film after many flops shows. His latest film, OMG 2, is proving to be a success at the box office as it received critical acclaim and good collections as well. The film has garnered a total of over 55 Crores net in India for 4 days. The collections on the Mondays have crossed 12 Crore, which is higher than the release date, which was over 10 Crore.
