Sunny Deol is ready for round two of his pan-India action saga. Just a week after Jaat hit theatres, the veteran actor announced its sequel titled Jaat 2, confirming his return as Baldev Pratap Singh. The announcement comes despite the film’s underwhelming box office performance, leaving many industry watchers surprised by the move.
After a lukewarm start on day one, Jaat has failed to pick up significant momentum. According to trade reports and official data shared by production house Mythri Movie Makers, the film has earned only ₹20.10 crore gross in India across two days, with overseas collections estimated between ₹2.5-3 crore. This brings the total worldwide gross to a disappointing ₹22-23 crore.
Sunny Deol's much-anticipated film Jaat got off to a modest start at the box office, earning ₹9.50 crore on its opening day—significantly lower than the actor's previous blockbuster Gadar 2, which had raked in ₹40 crore on its debut.
Sunny Deol returns to the big screen with Jaat, his first pan-India action adventure backed by South India’s Mythri Movie Makers. Marketed as Sunny’s equivalent of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan or Salman Khan’s Sikandar, Jaat aims to re-establish the veteran star’s dominance, particularly in South Indian markets. However, early box office indicators suggest that the film might fall short of expectations.
