Star cast of ‘Tiger 3’
‘Tiger 3’ was released in the year 2023 on the occasion of Diwali. Katrina Kaif was seen as the lead actress in the film, while Emraan Hashmi was seen as a villain in the film. ‘Tiger 3’ was directed by Manish Sharma.

‘Tara Singh’ fame actor Sunny Deol, who went to Pakistan and got rid of Pakistanis by uprooting a tap, is a fan’s favorite. Sunny has made a special place among the fans and the film industry with her patriotic films.

Sunny Deol’s difficult journey remembered on his 68th birthday
The actor is celebrating his 68th birthday on Sunday. He was born in Punjab to actor Dharmendra and his first wife Prakash Kaur. The actor wanted to work in films since childhood after seeing his father and being a star kid, Sunny did not have to work hard to enter films. Sunny Deol’s childhood was a bit difficult because he had dyslexia, due to which he had trouble in reading, writing and even remembering. He himself had revealed that due to this disease he had to be beaten many times.

Sunny Deol’s real name is Ajay Singh
Very few people know that Sunny’s real name is Ajay Singh, but before entering films, Dharmendra changed his name to Sunny Deol. This name also suited him and he gave back-to-back hit films in the industry. Sunny Deol is the son of veteran actor Dharmendra and acting is in his blood, but before debuting in Hindi cinema, he did an acting course. He learned the skills of acting at the Old World Theater in Birmingham and made his debut by honing his art.

Stories of father Dharmendra’s strictness
However, Sunny had to face a lot of scolding from Dharmendra during her film. He used to train Sunny like a schoolboy. While narrating an anecdote, Dharmendra himself had told that Sunny had to face a lot of scolding for his first film ‘Betaab’.

He had revealed that Sunny had completed the dubbing of the film and when I heard the dubbing, I got very angry. The dubbing was very bad. That’s why I got the entire film dubbed again by Sunny. During the film Betaab, Dharmendra used to make Sunny sit and dub the film all night long and the actor’s condition became like that of a school child.

Sunny Deol ready with new projects
Sunny learned a lot from her father from the first film. Dharmendra taught a lot to both his sons at every opportunity since their entry in Bollywood, and perhaps this is the reason that today both the sons are taking their father’s legacy forward. Sunny Deol has made a tremendous comeback in films after a long time with ‘Gadar-2’. After this, the film ‘Jatt’ also bombed at the box office. Now the actor’s film ‘Lahore 1947’ is coming.

Rishabh Shetty’s film ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ had already taken the record of the second highest grossing film of the year 2025 by breaking many records one after the other at the box office. Now even after spending 12 days in theatres, the film’s strong earnings are not stopping.

The director already knew the film will earn 500 crores
On the anniversary of the film, the director of the movie Anil Sharma while talking to IANS said that he knew beforehand that this film would earn 500 crores. That is why he had sent an e-mail to Zee Studio about it before its release. Taking forward his point, he said that he knew the film would be super hit.

Actually, on August 2, I sent an email to G, in which it was predicted that the film would cross the 500 crore mark. This was done before advance booking started.

When the filmmaker was questioned about the most challenging part of the movie, he said, ‘I had to find a way to advance the story of’ Gadar 1 ‘.
