Mumbai: The year 2023 can be considered to be the year of the comeback for the Bollywood biggies as they came back with a bang. Four of the greatest stars of the eighties are reportedly to come together in a crossover event the likes of which the world has not seen for many a year.
Sunny Deol is at the helm of affairs; the man whose movie ‘Gadar’ made business of over 500 crore rupees at the box office is going to be seen in the upcoming movie ‘Baap.’ With him are Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and Mithun Chakraborty, and these are the Bollywood giants on the screen.
The film, which was supposed to go on the floors before ‘Gadar 2,’ had to be postponed, but now the project is underway. Kabir Duhan Singh, who acted in ‘Marco,’ recently posted about ‘Baap,’ which created excitement among the audience and people from the film industry.
For the actor Sunny Deol, ‘Baap’ acts as a chance to build himself up once again after the massive hit of ‘Gadar 2.’. But, when it comes to his co-stars, the pressure is probably even greater. Sanjay Dutt, despite a memorable turn in ‘K.G.F: Chapter 2’, has failed to deliver such success in the subsequent ventures such as Shamshera, Samrat Prithviraj, Ghudchadi, Leo, and Double iSmart.
Jackie Shroff, too, is eyeing a comeback as he has delivered a series of flop films. His performances in ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Baby John’ could not do much business at the ticket window either. Mithun Chakraborty, though he has been consistently working in the industry, has not been the lead in any big-budget movie in the past few years.
With ‘Baap’ _ these veterans get an opportunity to reminisce about the old days and be the stars they were in the 1980s and 1990s. Having four strong actors on the screen, the anticipation for this action movie is off the charts.
While Bollywood is still growing, Baap remains a reminder of the great old stars of the industry. Whether they will start a new chapter in their successful careers or will be a reminder of the good old days, only time will tell.
One thing is certain: The excitement for this star-studded movie is well understandable, and fans are excited to watch these Bollywood ‘Baaps’ on screen once again.
