The mania around Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel's latest release, 'Gadar 2', refuses to die down. The film has brought in a storm at the box office and has resulted into a rampage, easily crushing the other films that locked horns with it. 'Gadar 2' clashed with two other films on August 11 -- 'OMG 2' and 'Bholaa Shankar', and even before the week ends, the audiences have a clear winner.
'Gadar 2' brings back the iconic jodi of Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, whose love story was the plot of the 2001 film, 'Gadar'. The second installment also has two more additions to the main cast -- Utkarsh Sharma, who plays Sunny and Ameesha's son, and Simrat Kaur, his love interest from Pakistan.
'Gadar 2' has emerged to be the second biggest blockbuster of 2023, the first one being Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan'.
