Sunny Deol
Bollywood actor Sunny Deol is currently basking in the success of his film Border 2 which marked his first release of the year. The actor has some interesting projects lined up for release this year- both in theatres and OTT. After Border 2, the actor is now gearing up to return to the big screen with another promising release, Gabru.
Gabru locks May 8 release
The project, which has been made under the direction of Shashank Udapurkar, will be arriving in the cinema halls on 8th May this year. Gabru was previously slated to be out in the theatres on March 13. However, now, the makers have decided to push the release.
While the makers have not revealed the exact reason behind delaying the release, the decision might have been taken in order to avoid a box office clash with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Yash's Toxic. Both these projects will be released on March 19.
Backed by Vishal Rana and Om Chhangani, Gabru will showcase Sunny in a powerful yet emotionally resonant role that will celebrate strength and spirit.
Speaking about his next project, Sunny revealed that Gabru is not just another project for him, but a story that resonates with him on a deeply personal level. He added that the movie reflects themes of courage, identity, and resilience; elements that have always defined his cinematic journey.
About Gabru
Along with Sunny, the core cast of Gabru further stars Simran and Prit Kamani. The film will further boast some noteworthy tracks composed by Mithoon and lyrics provided by Sayeed Quadri, Satinder Sartaj, and Anurag Saikya. The movie will be distributed nationwide by PVR INOX pictures.
The first look of the drama was unveiled back in October 2025 on Sunny's 68th birthday. The video showed Sunny carrying the body of a little girl. In another scene, he was seen wearing a kurta-pajama, sitting with a serious look on his face. The clip concluded with the text, “Sunny Deol in and as Gabru.”
After Gabru, Sunny will be seen in theatres on Independence Day for Lahore 1947.
