The box office is gearing up for a big clash as two big films i.e. Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 and Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 are set to release on the same day – 11th August. Both these films are sequels of earlier successful films. In a recent conversation, Sunny Deol has reacted to the clash of both the films. He recalled how Gadar also came out in 2001 along with Aamir Khan’s Lagaan.
Sunny Deol on clash between his Gadar 2 and Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2
In a recent interview with Times of India, actor Sunny Deol was asked about his feelings about the box office clash. Sunny recalled the time when Gadar and Lagaan clashed in 2001 and that there should be no comparison between such films. Sunny said, “Gadar made more than 100 crores while Lagaan made less than that. I don’t understand why people compare – be it from business or prospect point of view. There was no such perception about Gadar, people thought it was a masala film, it was old type picture, old type songs. On the other hand, people thought Lagaan is classic, etc. The so-called people who talk about films, completely trashed Gadar. This people , and they loved it. At the award show, I remember they made a spoof of Gadar, but we weren’t bothered about it. It’s happened with some of my other films too, like Ghayal and Dil, which clashed.”
There is no comparison, but people like to do that. What I am trying to say is that even if the film is better, you bring it at par with other films. Do not do what is not equal.
