In 2023, Sunny Deol and Anil Sharma created history with Gadar 2, which grossed over ₹500 crore, becoming one of the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema. Since then, speculations about their next collaboration have been rife. While Sharma earlier confirmed that Gadar 3 is being developed as the final part of the trilogy, new reports suggest that the duo may reunite on another ambitious project—Coal King.
Coal King: A Gritty Action-Drama
According to sources, Coal King is a larger-than-life action drama set against the coal mafia backdrop. The film is expected to showcase Sunny Deol in a never-before-seen avatar, adding freshness to his action persona. The script is already written, and the dialogue draft is currently being worked on. Discussions are still in early stages, and the project may take time to officially materialize.
Gadar 3 in the Works
Parallelly, Anil Sharma is actively working on Gadar 3, envisioned as a big-scale period action film. The decision on whether Coal King or Gadar 3 will roll first is expected by the end of 2025, as Sharma is juggling multiple scripts simultaneously.
Sunny Deol’s Busy Slate
Sunny Deol’s calendar is packed with high-profile projects:
- Shooting soon with Sidharth P Malhotra for a Netflix original actioner.
- A big action thriller backed by Excel Entertainment.
- Playing Lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, rejoining its shoot by late 2025.
- Major releases lined up in 2025 include Border 2 and Lahore: 1947.
If all goes as planned, the Anil Sharma-Sunny Deol reunion film (Coal King) could hit screens in 2026.
