Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 has sold over 2.7 lakh seats in advance reservations just one day before its release. Taran Adarsh, a film trade expert, provided a breakdown of the patterns across all major multiplex chains around 4.30 p.m. on Thursday.

According to a Pinkvilla estimate, the Delhi-UP belt is slated to officially open with 85% occupancy. Almost forty percent of this space was previously reserved in advance. Patna has 75% advance occupancy, while Jaipur has 44%.
Sunny Deol reprises his role as Tara Singh from his 2001 blockbuster movie Gadar: Ek Prem Katha in Gadar 2. Anil Sharma, who also directed the first film, has directed the sequel, which will be released on August 11.
In a conversation, Sunny added, “Tara Singh is our Hulk, Superman. Every man wants to watch Hulk and Superman. He believes that (the hero) on screen will set things right. Like there are Marvel Comics, here is Tara Singh. You don’t draw these powers from working out. These are emotional powers”.
“Then, you move ahead. That is the superpower of honesty, earnestness, and simplicity. That’s what superheroes are all about,” he further added.
Gadar 2 will compete with Akshay Kumar’s OMG2, which comes out on the same day.
