After delivering one of Indian cinema’s biggest blockbusters with Gadar 2 in 2023, the successful duo of superstar Sunny Deol and director Anil Sharma are planning their next big collaboration. The 2023 film earned over ₹500 crore at the box office, and fans have been eagerly waiting to hear what they will do next. While Gadar 3 is already in development, new reports suggest another original film is also being seriously considered.
Sources indicate that Anil Sharma recently met with Sunny Deol to discuss a new larger-than-life action-drama titled Coal King. The concept has reportedly excited both of them.
A New Action Drama: Coal King
According to sources, Coal King is set against the backdrop of the coal mafia. The film aims to present Sunny Deol in a completely new and “never-before-seen avatar.” While discussions about various original ideas have been happening for the past two years, Coal King is the one that has gained serious traction.
The script for the film is reportedly complete, and work is currently underway on the dialogue draft. However, these talks are still in the early stages, and it will take time for everything to fall into place before an official announcement is made.
Gadar 3 And Sunny Deol’s Packed Schedule
For fans eagerly awaiting the return of Tara Singh, there’s good news on that front as well. Anil Sharma confirmed earlier that Gadar 3 is definitely in the works. The writing team is currently developing ideas to expand the world of Gadar into a trilogy, promising another big-scale period action film. Sharma is working on both scripts simultaneously, and a final decision on which film goes on floors first will likely be taken by the end of this year.
A major factor in scheduling will be Sunny Deol’s packed calendar. The actor is currently busy with multiple high-profile projects. He is soon set to begin shooting for a Netflix original action film with director Sidharth P Malhotra, followed by another major action thriller produced by Excel Entertainment. He also has a significant role as Lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana and upcoming releases like Border 2 and Lahore: 1947. Given these commitments, the collaboration with Anil Sharma on Coal King or Gadar 3 might only materialize in 2026.
