Sunny Deol is making a big comeback with the much-anticipated sequel to 'Gadar', a movie that made him a national hero when it came out in 2001. 'Gadar' was a huge success. It broke box office records all over India, and Deol was praised for how he played Tara Singh. Now that 'Gadar 2' is coming out on August 11, fans are getting more excited. The film was made with a budget of 100 crores, which is a lot of money.

Sunny Deol's fee for 'Gadar 2' has been questioned, which is interesting. A report said that he charged a whopping 20 crores for the movie, which is about 300% more than his normal fee of 5 to 6 crores per movie. Taking into account how 'Gadar' affected his career, the number seems fair, as the directors are trying to bring back memories and cash in on the success of the first movie.
Ameesha Patel, who played Saqeena in the first movie, got only Rs 50 lakh for her part in 'Gadar 2'. Simrat Kaur was said to have been paid 80 lakh rupees to play her Bahu. Gaurav Chopra, who plays an army officer and was paid 25 lakh for the movie, is also in the cast. Manish Wadhwa, who played a Pakistani Army Officer, was paid 60 lakh for his role.
'Gadar 2' is widely awaited, and early ticket sales show that it could be a big hit at the box office. It will also test Sunny Deol's star power because it will compete with 'Oh My God 2', starring Akshay Kumar.
