On the other hand, Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol have delivered three box office hits in the past including ‘Ghayal’, ‘Damini’, and ‘Ghatak.’ Given the notable track record of the same, and Sunny Deol’s recent craze after the box office record of ‘Gadar 2’, this new venture looks promising.
This is the first time the two leading actors of Bollywood are coming together, as the duo has witnessed several box office clashes in the past. In 1996, it was ‘Raja Hindustani’ vs ‘Ghatak’, and then in 2001, it was ‘Lagaan’ vs ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.’
