He said, "After my daughter-in-law came, Gadar 2 got released, before that Papa’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was released. When Gadar 2 was released, I couldn’t understand what was happening because I was laughing and crying at the same time from within. It was unbelievable. From where did God reveal himself? After that, Animal was released. All records were broken."

Sunny further revealed that Gadar 2 wasn't going to be made. He said, “From the industry, we couldn’t get films that generated sufficient capital. I remember when I was doing Gadar 2, people said, ‘It’s old cinema, even the director is old. Who is going to watch it?' But you guys proved that you want to watch it."
