'Gadar 2' surpasses SRK's 'Pathaan' in box office

Sunny Deol's latest film, "Gadar 2", has made waves at the Indian box office, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan". The sequel has become the fastest film to cross the remarkable Rs 500 crore mark in just 24 days. 

"Pathaan" took a total of 28 days to reach the same milestone, lagging "Gadar 2" by a significant four-day margin. Even the Hindi version of the immensely popular "Baahubali 2" required 34 days to achieve this feat in the domestic market.

These reports surfaced following a recent encounter between the two lead actors at the success celebration of "Gadar 2". Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan were spotted embracing each other, signalling a heartwarming reunion after a much-publicised feud that had emerged following the release of "Darr" in the '90s.
