'Gadar 2' starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel as leads released in theatres on August 11 and it broke numerous box office records. The Anil Sharma directorial emerged as the third highest-earning Hindi movie in 2023. After 22 years of 'Gadar-Ek Prem Katha's success, Sunny Deol finally got his due with the success of its sequel.
Rajveer Deol, Sunny's younger son and veteran actor Dharmendra's grandson told Outlook India that he feels great to see his dad anytime on the screen as the actor works really hard. ''I know how low those points were and seeing him now get everything is what I truly believe he deserves. It's amazing. It's a blessing,'' said Rajveer.
The 'Dono' actor also revealed the best piece of advice he received from his father and his grandfather. ''I think they always said to be yourself and don't try to do what they did. Don't try to become a star or popular or something like that. They always said work on your craft, your craft will take you places. And if you do a character people relate to, that will make you a star and it's not your own antics. It's your work,'' he said.
Asked if he feels the pressure of being a star kid or pressure to carry the legacy of his family, Rajveer said, ''I would say before I had more pressure, before I even got the movie, now I've started working and all. And honestly, the baggage only comes if you put it in your head because they aren't expecting you to do anything, but just be yourself and do what you believe. That's what they always told me. Other people will put baggage. People who love my father, and my grandfather, want to see the next generation do the same thing, what they love. So their kids also have someone like that. But when it comes to my own work, I like to do my own thing and make my own path.''
