When Jaat released, people were expecting an action entertainer — but what they didn’t expect was a behind-the-scenes drama involving last minute loans, surprise producer credits and Sunny Deol stepping in like a real-life hero.
The biggest question doing the rounds: Did Sunny Deol really help Mythri Movie Makers get a 65-crore loan from Zee Studios? Buckle up because this story is more filmy than the film itself.

Initially Jaat was being promoted as a film by Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory — two biggies from the South.
But just days before release something strange happened. Zee Studios which hadn’t promoted the film at all till then suddenly popped up in the credits.

That’s when Sunny Deol — fresh from the success of Gadar 2 — stepped in. Known for his strong ties with Zee Studios, Sunny reportedly suggested that Zee help Mythri out.
Mythri mortgaged the Hindi rights of some of their big 2025 and 2026 films in return for a 65-crore loan.
And as part of the deal Zee’s name was added to the list of producers for Jaat. No drama no noise — just a behind the scenes handshake that got the job done.
The film released on April 10 and earned 9.62 crores on Day 1. But…Why Did Mythri Need a Loan at All?
And this is the part that has everyone scratching their heads. Mythri Movie Makers isn’t a small fry.
These are the folks behind Pushpa: The Rise and with Pushpa 2 expected to set the box office on fire later this year people are wondering — “Pushpa 2 se itna paisa kamaane ke baad, unko loan ki zarurat kyun pad gayi?”
Well welcome to the real world of film production. Big studios often juggle multiple projects and cash flow issues aren’t uncommon.
Especially when you venture into a new territory — in this case the Hindi film market — things can get tight. No matter how big your banner is, liquidity crunches are a real thing.
So did Sunny Deol actually pull off a ₹65 crore rescue operation? According to Bollywood media buzz — yes. But nothing has been officially confirmed by any party involved.
