Jaat is Sunny’s first released since the 2023 film Gadar 2, which made over Rs 500 crore at the box office. Gadar 2 was Sunny’s first hit in over 20 years, since the original 2001 film Gadar. With Jaat, Sunny’s intention was to expand his fan base to the southern states as well, which is why he collaborated with the Telugu filmmaker Gopichand Malineni and the production house, Mythri Movie Makers.
After Jaat, Sunny will next be seen in Border 2. Directed Anurag Singh, the film also stars Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, among others. He will also collaborate with Rajkumar Santoshi for Lahore 1947, also starring Preity Zinta. The film is being produced Aamir Khan. He shared with Pinkvilla, “We had been working on Lahore for many years, and many different actors heard the story and were considered for the film, but it couldn’t be done. But then again, Gadar 2 has made it happen. I was surprised when Aamir approached me and said, ‘Sunny, we want to make this film,’ because I never thought of an actor producing the film.”
He added, “I started shooting for Lahore 1947 before Jaat, but the reason that it is taking more time is because Aamir is the producer and he wants to take his time and see everything, and he wants everything to be perfect.”
