The frosty relationship between Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol had been a topic of speculation for years. The genesis of their feud dates back to the early 2000s when the two actors clashed over the release of their respective films, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Lagaan, both of which were competing for box office glory.
During that time, tensions ran high as both films enjoyed immense popularity. The competition escalated to the point where it created a divide within the industry, with fans and media often taking sides in what became known as the Gadar vs. Lagaan clash.
For years, Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol maintained a distance from each other, and their interactions were limited to professional courtesy at industry events. However, the turning point came when Gadar 2, a sequel to Sunny Deol’s blockbuster, achieved remarkable success at the box office. The film garnered praise not only for its storyline but also for the nostalgia it brought to fans of the original.
