Apart from Sunny Deol, the film stars Randeep Hooda as the main antagonist. The action-thriller also includes big names from the South, like Ramya Krishnan and Jagapathi Babu. While Jaat seems like Sunny’s attempt to break into the South Indian market like Shah Rukh Khan did with Jawan in 2023, the number of shows in regions like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai were also reduced on day two. In the wake of Jawan, several Bollywood stars have tried to adopt South Indian aesthetics in their output, but nearly every attempt has flopped. Most recently, Salman Khan’s Sikandar was barely able to cross the Rs 100 crore mark, and before that, the Varun Dhawan-starrer Baby John tanked badly.

Gadar 2 earned Rs 41 crore on the day of its release, but Sunny hadn’t witnessed a solo hit for around two decades before that. After Jaat, Sunny Deol is all set to star in Lahore 1947 as well as the sequel of his iconic film Border. Jaat also stars actors Saiyami Kher, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Zarina Wahab, among others.
