Sunny Deol starrer Gadar 2 is one of the most-anticipated films of this year. Sunny Deol is back as Tara Singh with Ameesha Patel as Sakina. For the uninitiated, Gadar 2 is all set to clash with Akshay Kumar starrer OMG 2 at the box office on 11th August. In a recent interview, Akshay was asked about his film Gadar 2 clashing with OMG 2 at the box office.
The actor said that he does not understand why people compare films, when there is ‘no comparison’ between them. Sunny also recalled the time when his film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was clashed with Aamir Khan starrer Lagaan: Once Upon A Time in India.
Sunny breaks silence on Gadar 2 clash with OMG 2
As quoted by Hindustan Times, Sunny said, “Gadar did ₹100 crore plus (at the box office), 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 purani type ki picture hai, purane type ke gaane hai (People thought Gadar is old sort of film with old songs). 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.”
He added, “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 Ghayal and Dil, which clashed. There is no comparison, but people like to do it.”
Sunny further went on to add, “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 (Why must people compare a good film with others. Films that have no comparison should not be pitted against each other).”
Gadar 2 starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel is directed by Anil Sharma.
On the other hand, OMG 2 starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam is directed by Amit Rasi. Akshay will be seen playing the role of Lord Shiva whereas Pankaj will be seen as Shiva devotee. Yami plays the role of a lawyer in the upcoming film.
