Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan
Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan worked together in the cult classic film Darr of 1993. With his villainous act, Shah Rukh Khan made a lasting impression and shot to fame. Reportedly, he also overshadowed the protagonist played by Deo. According to reports, the duo had a tiff and did not speak to each other for 16 years.
Thirty years later, in 2023, Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan are dominating the box office with their respective films. Recently, during an AskSRK session on Twitter, Khan said that he liked 'Gadar 2' that has been breaking records at the box office. Now, Sunny Deol opened up about his equation with SRK and said that they had buried the hatchet long ago.
In an interview with Zoom, Sunny shared that Shah Rukh Khan called him to wish for the success of 'Gadar 2'.
"Shah Rukh Khan had seen the film. Before that, he had called me and wished me well. He was so happy, and he told me 'I'm so happy, you genuinely deserve it' and I said Thank You. Then I spoke to his wife and his son. And he said tonight we are going to be watching this film. And after that, he had seen it, and I think that is when he tweeted. It was so beautiful," shared Sunny Deol.
Speaking about their reconciliation, he added, "Many times I've also called him up and we shared our thoughts on certain things. About the past issues - whatever they were, I would say time heals everything and we move ahead. That's the way life should be."
Celebrating the film's success, Sunny had thanked his fans and shared, "Hello everyone, first and foremost aap sab ko bohot bohot dhanyavad. Aaplogo ko Gadar 2 pasand aayi.. maine kabhi socha nahi tha. Humlog 400 cross kar chuke hai, aage bhi jayenge but yeh sab aap hi ke wajah se hua hai. Aap sabko film pasand aayi, Tara Singh pasand aaya, Sakina pasand aayiâ¦pura parivar aaya, isiliye thank you thank you (Firstly, thank you everyone, you all liked Gadar 2. I never imagined we would cross Rs 400 crore and go ahead. All of this was possible because of the audience. You all liked Tara Singh, Sakeena and the entire family, so thank you)."
