Mumbai, July 25 - The Independence Day 2023 week will see multiple Indian biggies releasing in theaters, clashing against each other. One of the most anticipated box office clashes is going to happen between the two sequels to the highly appreciated and successful movies, Sunny Deol-fronted "Gadar 2: The Katha Continues" and Akshay Kumar's "OMG 2".

Anil Sharma's directorial "Gadar 2" is the sequel to the all-time blockbuster "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" (2001) while "OMG 2", directed by Amit Rai, is the successor of "OMG" (2012). There is genuine excitement for both movies among the fans and the trade is also looking forward and hopeful about the same.



Meanwhile, Sunny Deol is not at all worried about the box office numbers and is not fazed by the fact that his film will be clashing with the Akshay Kumar-led "Oh My God 2" (OMG 2) in a high-profile box office showdown.

During a recent interview with ETimes, Deol said, "I have never felt unnerved by box-office numbers as I believe that there is so much to do. There are many ways of portraying stories, but every Friday, we change our vision, and we say that 'Yeh nahin chal raha hai, toh aisa karo'. But this has been happening forever, it's not new. We need to believe in our stories and tell them to our audience".

The actor further said that the media shouldn't compare movies if they are coming on the same day. He recalled how "Gadar" was run down completely but emerged as a people's movie and grossed over 100 crores worldwide despite clashing with Aamir Khan's "Lagaan" which was hailed as a classic blockbuster.



"Gadar did Rs 100 crore plus, while Lagaan did much less. I don't understand why people compare – whether it's from the business or likeability point. Gadar didn't have the perception, people thought it is this masala film and is an old sort of film with old songs".

"On the other hand, people thought Lagaan was classic, etc. The so-called people who talk about films had run down Gadar completely. It went on to become a people's film, and they loved it. At award shows, I remember that they made a spoof of Gadar, but we weren't bothered by it. It has happened with some of my other films too, like Ghayal and Dil, which clashed. There is no comparison, but people like to do it", he added.

Both "Gadar 2" and "OMG 2" will release on August 11, 2023.
