Gadar 2 took the box office by storm with record breaking earnings. The film revived the single-screen magic and Deol continued the momentum with Jatt. After Gadar 2 and the soon-to-be-released Border 2, Sunny Deol is gearing up for another sequel, Jatt 2. After the success of Jatt, which became a surprise mass entertainer, the sequel is now officially in the making. The first installment, directed by Gopichand Malineni, hit the right chord with the audience, featuring whistle-worthy scenes, humorous dialogues, emotional family drama and Sunny Deol’s trademark style. The film celebrated the desi heroism that Deol fans love, and it revitalized single screens across India like never before.
Sunny Deol, who has time and again proved to be box office gold with his raw screen presence, is gearing up for Jatt 2. Now, IHNS has exclusively learned, Rajkumar Santoshi is in talks to lead the project. If things work out, it will mark another iconic collaboration between the two, after their unforgettable work in Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak.
A source close to the development revealed, “Yes, Rajkumar Santoshi is in talks to direct Jatt 2. The team feels he is the right choice as no one understands better than him the connect Sunny Deol has with the audience. His storytelling has the right balance of emotion, action and mass appeal, which Jatt 2 needs to elevate the franchise.”
Now it remains to be seen how things progress and whether Jatt 2 promises to be another thunderous crowd-pleaser that brings back the old-school Bollywood energy fans have been missing.
Let us tell you, Sunny won the National Award in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories for Ghayal and Damini respectively.
Interestingly, if things fall into place, the audience will get to see a big back-to-back reunion after 23 years in the form of Lahore 1947 and Jatt 2, which means Sunny and Rajkummar have officially decided to bury the hatchet.
