Sunny Deol On Rs 50 Crore Fee And Gadar 3: Sunny Deol recently appeared on Rajat Sharma's show 'Aap Ki Adalat,' celebrating the recent blockbuster success of his movie 'Gadar 2,' which has raked in a remarkable Rs 511 crore at the box office to date. When questioned about the possibility of working on 'Gadar 3' in the future, Sunny Deol expressed his readiness, stating, "'Gadar 2' laane ke liye main darr raha tha, 'Gadar 3' ke liye main taiyar hoon (I was apprehensive while making 'Gadar 2,' but now I am prepared to undertake 'Gadar 3')."
Discussing the possibility of sequels like 'Border 2,' 'Ghayal 2,' and 'Arjun 2,' Sunny Deol clarified, "I think the characters in these movies have made their place in the hearts of people. They want extensions of those characters… There was a time when Border 2 was being planned, but it could not happen. Now that this film ('Gadar 2') has clicked, everybody is energetic, I think someday they will be made."

Regarding reports speculating that Sunny Deol had requested a fee of Rs 50 crore for a film, the actor stated, "Look, it's the producer who will decide how much to pay depending on how much he earns." When questioned further about the notion of demanding a substantial fee after a movie earns Rs 500 crore, Deol added, "He will decide how much he can pay. I will not say, I'll do or not do. I do not work like this. I like to be in projects where I am not a burden."
Reflecting on the unexpected success of 'Gadar 2,' Sunny Deol remarked, "I did not have any such expectations... when we made the first 'Gadar' film, it was the audience who turned it into a massive hit. There was no digital world back then. However, we had a strong gut feeling that it would resonate with viewers.
"During those days, we didn't engage in promotional activities... This time, before embarking on 'Gadar 2,' particularly our director, engaged in brainstorming. There were delays, and then the Covid pandemic hit. When he shared the concept with me, I found it appealing, and work commenced from that point. I was confident that those who appreciated 'Gadar' would also embrace this sequel. I knew it would either not succeed or, if it did, it would uphold the movie's reputation as a sequel."
