From Border 2 to Gadar 3, Sunny Deol is amused by the many sequel speculations doing the rounds. Gadar 2 (2023) was a blockbuster, which has led the rumour mill to work in overdrive.

“People like to speculate,” says the actor. Clearing the air, he adds, “These rumours have been there since Gadar 2 released; ‘Yeh part 2 kar raha hai, voh part 2 kar raha hai’. Arrey, kitni sequels kar raha hoon? Har cheez ke rumours hain. I will announce it myself.”

The 66-year-old’s next, Lahore 1947, will be directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. “Gadar 2 was successful, so this film is happening,” says Deol, adding, “We’ve been working on this film for the past 15-17 years, but it wasn’t happening. Gadar 2 opened a lot of doors for us. People have seen us (Santoshi and Deol) working together in three films in different genres, and all were masterpieces.”

They have worked on Ghayal (1990), Damini (1993) and Ghatak (1996). While signing new projects, Deol doesn’t feel “insecure” or think about “people’s expectations” from him. “If I love the subject, I will do the character,” he ends.
