Deol last appeared in the action movie Gadar 2, which costarred Utkarsh Sharma and Ameesha Patel. Gadar 2 was released in 2023 and marked Sunny Deol's long-awaited comeback to the big screen. The film, directed by Anil Sharma, was a huge box office hit and a follow-up to their 2001 hit film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.
