It’s been exactly a month since Sunny Deol came back with a bang with Gadar 2. The Anil Sharma war drama created quite a rage at the box office, breaking many records. However, ever since Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan hit cinema halls on September 7, the footfall has seen a gradual fall for Gadar 2. On Sunday, the film earned approx. Rs 1.60 crore, reported industry tracker Sacnilk. It’s an increase from previous days numbers of Rs 90 lakh (Friday) and Rs 1.35 crore (Saturday). With this, the film has netted Rs 513.85 crore in 31 days.

The sequel of 2001 blockbuster, Gadar 2 opened with a massive Rs 40 crore. On week 1, the film collected Rs 284.63 crore, and the numbers for the following week were Rs 134.47 crore, Rs 63.35 crore, and Rs 27.55 crore, respectively. Gadar 2 saw a 60.17 per cent occupancy in the Hindi-speaking market, which is quite a positive sign for the team. While evening shows remained most crowded with 77.85 per cent, afternoon shows also saw 70.08 per cent occupancy.

Following the release of Jawan, Gadar 2 dropped from the second position to the third spot in the list of the highest Hindi openers of 2023. Jawan now leads the pack with Rs 75 crore, followed by Pathaan at Rs 57 crore, and Gadar 2.

However, the film has outperformed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in terms of lifetime collections in the Hindi belt, although it is still chasing Pathaan’s all-time record of Rs 543 crore. SRK’s Jawan, on the other hand, has already crossed Rs 287.06 crore in just four days.

Sunny Deol on hiking his fees after Gadar 2

Sunny Deol saw a hit after 22 years and as it made new records, reports started doing rounds of the actor hiking his fees to Rs 50 crore. As he graced the Aap Ki Adalat stage, the actor dismissed the same, and mentioned how he doesn’t take up films for money.

As Rajat Sharma questioned Sunny about his increase in fees, the actor laughed to say, “Paise kya lene hai nahi lene hai, woh to producer.. wahi dega jitna usse pata hai woh bana sakta hai (The producer will decide how much they want to pay an actor, depending on how much they earn). An actor would also charge according to [how much he can help the film earn].”

Referring to Gadar 2’s success, the host added that one would deserve Rs 50 crore as fees if a film earns Rs 500 crore. To this, Sunny said, “If the producer feels they can pay me that much, then I am okay with it. 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.”
