Last year, 2023 can be referred as an year of comebacks. Bollywood senior heroes, Shahrukh Khan and Sunny Deol bounced back by scoring huge blockbusters. While Shahrukh Khan delivered money spinners with Pathan and Jawan, Sunny Deol struck gold with his Gadar 2. But, these two stars weren't in talking terms with each other since the release of their film together from 1993.
When Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 hit theatres earlier this year, the entire industry came together to celebrate it. Even Shah Rukh Khan joined the celebration and was seen hugging Deol. In a recent interview, Sunny opened up about the reconciliation of his long-standing differences with SRK when he mentioned that ‘everybody has moved ahead’ and is now ‘happy and satisfied’.
Darr completed 30 years recently when Sunny Deol opened up about his equation with Shah Rukh Khan, “I’m so thankful to him (Shah Rukh). I remember speaking to him and he was in Dubai for the promotions (of Jawan). I thought he wouldn’t come but he came straight from there. He was there for a little while. I didn’t get a chance to meet or speak to him after that (party) but whenever I do it would be beautiful.”
The rift between Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan started in 1993 when the two were shooting for their movie Darr. Reportedly, even though Sunny was the film’s protagonist, he wasn’t happy with the way his character was portrayed against Shah Rukh Khan’s antagonist role. After the release of Darr, the two actors did not speak to each other.
