Actors Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel's 'Gadar 2' had sprung up a surprise at the box office last month. The film that was released in theatres on August 11 along with Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 had a historic run at the box office. Now, the period drama has created a new record to become the highest grossing Hindi film earning Rs 524.75 crore nett in India. The period drama has beaten superstar Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan', which was released in January this year, at the box-office. 'Pathaan', a spy action thriller, was the highest grossing movie ever in Hindi in India for months now. 

However, there was chatter whether 'Gadar 2' or Shah Rukh's latest release 'Jawan' would make the record by dethroning 'Pathaan' on taking the top spot.
