Gadar 2 box office collection: Sunny Deol breaks Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan record, becomes the new box office king

Sunny Deol is on an unstoppable streak, as evidenced by the tremendous success of Gadar 2 at the box office. Just as predicted, the film has raked in a total of 135 crore rupees, with a remarkable 52 crore rupees collected on Sunday alone in India. Sunny Deol is overwhelmed by this immense response, and even critics are praising the original superstar of the Indian film industry. Sunny Deol has not only become the first actor to join the prestigious 100 crore club at the age of 60 but has also shattered the record set by superstar Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster film Pathaan. This achievement was beyond imagination, underlining the principle of anticipating the unexpected. While Shah Rukh Khan made history with his comeback film Pathaan and asserted his position as the box office king, Gadar 2 has wrested the throne from King Khan. Sunny Deol's film Pathaan earned 39.25 crore on its initial Sunday, whereas the Punjab king roared even louder with a staggering 52 crore rupees.

The past feud between the two stars is now a thing of the past. When Shah Rukh Khan released the trailer for "Jawan Prevue," some interpreted it as a subtle jab at Sunny Deol through his villainous dialogue. The rift between them initially began when Sunny Deol expressed feeling betrayed by the creators of the film "Darr," who seemingly emphasized the villain's role more than the hero's. This discord led to a 16-year period during which Sunny Deol and SRK did not communicate. Currently, they maintain a cordial relationship, but there haven't been any sightings of them together in recent years.

Sunny Del took an indirect dig at Shah Rukh Khan for dancing at the weddings.

There was a period when Sunny Deol shared his thoughts on actors dancing at weddings, suggesting that only professional dancers should perform such routines, and he personally couldn't engage in such acts. This statement led some to believe that the renowned Gadar 2 actor was indirectly referring to Shah Rukh Khan, who is known for his dance performances.

Currently, Sunny Deol has ascended to the position of the new box office king, with his recent release Gadar 2 receiving widespread acclaim from fans.
