Mumbai: Sunny Deol has reclaimed his status as a box office heavyweight with Gadar 2, a triumph that has seen him break records as the first actor over 60 years old to join the Rs 500 Crore club. Buoyed by this monumental success, the spotlight is now shifting to the eagerly anticipated Gadar 3. Director Anil Sharma has shared some exciting insights on what fans can expect from this much-awaited third installment.
In a candid conversation with Rajasthan Patrika, Anil Sharma disclosed that the development of Gadar 3’s storyline is already in progress. He drew an interesting analogy to describe his readiness for constructing sequels. “Gadar 3 ki katha pe kaam chal raha hai, pehle mai kehta tha ki jab mere pass emotions ka bomb aaega tab mai Gadar 2 banaunga aur ab mai kehta hu ki ab mere pass emotions ka atom bomb aaega tab mai Gadar 3 banaunga,” he stated. Translated, Sharma’s words convey that just as he waited for an emotional bomb to create Gadar 2, he will wait for an ’emotional atomic bomb’ to undertake Gadar 3.
The journey to Gadar 3 is inspired by the historic success of its predecessor, Gadar 2, which resonated powerfully with audiences and critics alike. The film’s unprecedented performance at the box office stirred deep emotions in Sunny Deol, who has been vocal about his gratitude and the emotional rollercoaster he experienced. The actor’s substantial increase in professional fees to Rs 50 crore, a subject of much chatter, was addressed by Deol himself. He clarified that if a producer considers him worth such a fee, he has no objections. “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,” Deol explained, emphasizing his balanced approach towards remuneration.
Gadar 3 is not the only high-octane project on Sunny Deol’s horizon.
. The actor is set to grace the silver screen in Border 2, a sequel to the legendary war drama, Border. Reports indicate that Varun Dhawan will join Deol in what promises to be one of the most significant war films in recent times.
Delving deeper into the craft of storytelling in Gadar 3, Sharma reiterated the need for profound, impactful emotions to drive the narrative. His analogy of an ’emotional atomic bomb’ suggests a story brimming with high-stakes drama and deeper emotional contexts, promising an experience even more intense than its predecessor.
Sunny Deol’s career, spanning over decades, has seen its set of highs and lows. However, his latest run with Gadar 2 has indisputably reaffirmed his indomitable spirit and his adaptability to changing cinematic trends. The film’s massive box office figures also underscore the audience’s enduring love for Deol’s brand of storytelling and raw, emotional performances.
Bollywood insiders suggest that the overwhelming response to Gadar 2 sets a high bar for Gadar 3. Fans have grand expectations, and there is palpable excitement about what this next chapter will bring. The collaborative chemistry between Sunny Deol and Anil Sharma, which has delivered exceptional results in the past, is likely to fuel the creative engines propelling Gadar 3 towards possibly even greater heights.
Apart from his cinematic endeavors, Sunny Deol’s pragmatic approach towards his career and compensation underscores his professional maturity. Deol’s openness to projects as long as they justify their value balances commercial success with artistic integrity, a philosophy that resonates in his film choices.
In sum, with the story of Gadar 3 taking form under the adept direction of Anil Sharma and the return of a reinvigorated Sunny Deol, audiences can anticipate a film that not only surpasses expectations but also delivers on the promise of heartfelt and gripping cinema. Between Gadar 3 and Border 2, Sunny Deol is poised to continue his reign in Bollywood, much to the delight of his fans and the film industry at large.
As the excitement builds and details trickle in, cinephiles wait with bated breath for what promises to be another landmark moment in the illustrious career of Sunny Deol and the ongoing saga of Gadar.
