Clash Between Akshay Kumar’s Film ‘OMG 2’ And Sunny Deol’s Film ‘Gadar 2’; Latter Says ‘Jis Cheez Ki Barabari Nahin Hai, Mat Karo…’

Both Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Oh My God 2’ (OMG 2) and Sunny Deol’s film ‘Gadar 2’ will be released on August 11, 2023. ‘Gadar 2’ co-star Sunny was questioned about the competition with ‘OMG 2’ in a recent interview. Sunny also appears in ‘Gadar 2’ with Ameesha Patel. Sunny remembered how ‘Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India,’ starring Aamir Khan, and his 2001 movie ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’ had collided. Since there is ‘no comparison’ between the films, he claimed he does not understand "why people compare" them.

About the numerous major box office conflicts this year, Sunny was questioned. The actor responded that a good movie shouldn't be compared to others when asked about ‘Gadar 2’ clashing with another movie on a Friday, ‘OMG 2.’

Sunny Deol said, "Gadar did ₹100 crore plus (at the box office), while Lagaan did much less. I don’t understand why people compare – whether it’s from the business or likeability point. Gadar didn’t have the perception, people thought it is this masala film, yeh purani type ki picture hai, purane type ke gaane hai (People thought Gadar is old sort of film with old songs). On the other hand, people thought Lagaan was classic, etc. The so-called people who talk about films had run down Gadar completely. It went on to become a people’s film, and they loved it. At award shows, I remember that they made a spoof of Gadar, but we weren’t bothered by it. It has happened with some of my other films too, like Ghayal and Dil, which clashed. There is no comparison, but people like to do it.

What I am trying to say is that jo film zyada acchi hoti hai phir bhi aap usko doosre films ke barabari mein le aatey ho. Jis cheez ki barabari nahin hai, mat karo (Why must people compare a good film with others. Films that have no comparison should not be pitted against each other)."

The movie is scheduled for release in theatres on August 11,2023. It will compete for viewers' attention at the box office alongside Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel's ‘Gadar 2.’ The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is reportedly examining the dialogue and situations in ‘Oh My God 2’ (OMG 2) in order to avoid a response such to that experienced by ‘Adipurush’ in the future.

‘Gadar 2,’ which was directed by Anil Sharma, stars Sunny and Ameesha Patel in the key roles. One of Bollywood's highest-grossing films ever at the time was their 2001 feature ‘Gadar.’ The sequel was released more than 20 years after the first film.

filmmaker Anil Sharma talked about ‘Gadar 2’ and said, "We have worked with the same cast and characters Tara Singh (Sunny), Sakina (Amisha) and Jeete (Utkarsh Sharma). The story too has progressed 22 years ahead. My son (Utkarsh) has grown from a kid to a youngster so it’s a natural progression for everyone. For the new audience it will be a new film and for old timers it’s a sequel.”
