Batwara 1947 marked the collaboration of Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol after many years. Notably, the duo is now planning to work again on another project, which is expected to go on the floors by 2027.
Although a lot of details have not been revealed, insiders have claimed that this is Ghatak 2, the sequel to Rajkumar and Sunny’s iconic action-drama. The movie is supposed to be announced in the upcoming few months and will enter production based on Sunny Deol’s availability.
An insider stated that Sunny and Rajkumar have been close friends since 1990. The pair have already discussed the new film, and the first narration is also complete. Furthermore, Rajkumar will soon start working on the final draft.
While Sunny’s fans are excited, questions are being raised about the film’s potential at the box office. Many people pointed out Sunny’s choice, asking how he agreed to this despite knowing that Batwara 1947 has not done so well. Although a few said that a second collaboration was not wrong, they mentioned that a fresh subject would have been a better choice.
Netizens said that Rajkumar Santoshi’s direction is still outdated and he has not adjusted himself to the needs of the modern audience. A few even claimed that this is one of the reasons why Batwara 1947 did not emerge as a big hit compared to Sunny’s last few films.
An interview of Rajkumar Santoshi is also creating headlines, where he described himself as pro-India and pro-humanity, adding that he won’t wish anything bad for Pakistan. The statement has now grabbed a lot of attention as netizens questioned whether the audience will show the same interest in watching his films again.
A few fans of Sunny are also dissatisfied with his decision to join Rajkumar Santoshi again. They said that he deserves better films. But since it is Sunny’s decision, let’s see if he will take the feedback seriously or prefer to do what he wants to.
