On Koffee With Karan 8, when Karan Johar asked Sunny Deol about the success of Gadar 2 and Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 clashing the same day, the actor said, “I thought 'Okay my film is releasing and I have not had a success for donkey's years'. And I did not want anybody else to come along with it. Well, but you can't stop anybody. So, obviously, it does hurt you. But then I was like does it matter? Let's go along with it. Eventually, both films went on to do well…”
He added that he requested Akshay Kumar to push his film to another date and said, “Obviously, I asked him. I said, ‘Please don’t do it if it’s in your hands’. But he said, ‘No, the studio and all'. And they said that two films can be released (simultaneously). I said, ‘Okay, go ahead'. I can just request, I can’t do anything more than that.”
As per a report by Sacnilk.com, Gadar 2 is the second highest-grossing Hindi film ever earning Rs 525.7 crore nett in India at the box office and Rs 686 crore worldwide. Meanwhile, OMG 2 collected Rs 151.16 crore nett in India in total.
