New Delhi: Sunny Deol’s Dadar 2 is creating a rampage at the box office. Amid the success of the film, rumours started floating about a sequel to the 1997 blockbuster ‘Border’. The reports stated that Sunny and JP Dutta are coming together for Border 2. Sunny Deol decided to quash the viral news saying that he’s not aware of any sequel and has not signed any movie.
Taking to his Instagram stories, the actor said, “Some news has been circulating of me signing a few film, I would like to inform that currently I am only concentrating on Gadar 2 and receiving all your love. I have not signed any film and would be announcing something special soon at the right time. Till then keep showering your love on Tara Singh and Gadar 2.”
Set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the classic film revolved around the Battle of Longewala and also showed the backstory of every soldier. Directed by JP Dutta, the film starred Sunny Deol as Major Kuldeep Singh, Sunil Shetty as Assistant Commandant Bhairon Singh, Jackie Shroff as Wing Commander MS Bawa, Akshaye Khanna as Dharam Veer among others. The film was a blockbuster hit and grossed around Rs 655.7 million at the box office.
On Saturday, Pinkvilla reported that Border 2 is in development. A source told the publication, “Border is among the most historic blockbusters of Indian Cinema and is easily a film that warrants a part two. The team has been discussing the probability of making a Border sequel for the last 2 to 3 years and everything has now finally fallen into place as the team is all set to make an official announcement of Border 2 in a fortnight. The team has identified a tale from the 1971 Indo-Pak war that is yet not told on the big screen and are all charged up to bring it to the spectacle.”
Meanwhile, film critic Taran Adarsh has called Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 a ‘BO monster’.
The film, which is a sequel to the 2001 superhit film Gadar, has been receiving a thunderous response from the audience.
