The second episode of Koffee With Karan 8 went on air at midnight. Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol graced the couch. During the episode, the Deol brothers spoke about their careers, family, children and more. Sunny, who is fresh from the success of Gadar 2, opened up about not having a hit in over 2 decades and how the Anil Sharma directorial brought the lost glory back. 


While talking about Gadar 2 in-depth, host Karan Johar recalled watching one of Sunny's interviews in which he discussed the box office collections of the film being 'organic'. Quizzing him on the statement, the filmmaker said, "I was watching your interviews, and you were saying, ‘Ours are organic collections’. What does that really mean? Do you think that there are inflated numbers being given by us? Are we inflating box office numbers, Sunny sir?"


Sunny laughed and shared, "I don’t know. There are times… That’s the way… The world is moving like that, right? If you ask me frankly, all the companies want the product to move ahead, and try to support it, so that it gets the buzz out there.  I know that does happen, and it is happening. But that’s the way it is. It’s not like one particular person… That’s the way society is moving right now."


When Karan asked if this was ‘a perception game’, Sunny said, "Yes, it is. The world is full of perception. And then it starts becoming a reality, you know?" Karan slyly reminded Sunny that the tagline for Gadar 2 was ‘Hindustan ka asli blockbuster (India’s real blockbuster)’. Sunny once again laughed but Bobby chipped in to answer it. He said, "I think the whole industry can agree on that."

Sunny further added that he is glad that Gadar 2 performed well without inflated ticket prices. He said the film also reopened dormant theatres in several parts of the country. 

Gadar 2 also starred Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma. It released on August 11, 2023, along with Akshay Kumar's OMG 2. Almost a month after its theatrical release, Gadar 2 premiered on ZEE5 on October 6.
