Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar, featuring Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, Sara Arjun, and others, created a storm at the box office and has become the highest-grossing Hindi film to date. The movie's dialogue caught the audience's attention, with some lines inspired by Sunny Deol's films. One dialogue that became the talk of the town was: "Ghayal hoon, isiliye Ghatak hoon." (Ghayal and Ghatak are titles of Sunny Deol's movies.)
Meanwhile, Sunny Deol, who is basking in the success of Border 2, opened up in an interview about his film titles being used in the Dhurandhar dialogue.
Speaking to ANI, when Sunny was asked if he received any royalty from the makers of Dhurandhar for using his movie titles, he smiled and said, "Nai, hamare jo director hai, he is a great fan. Unhone meri picture dekhi hai aur unhone Ghayal, Ghatak, yeh sab filmein dekhi hai toh. So, I think just for respect, maybe he used the dialogue. I mean, they have used the title, which is very sweet."
"No, our director is a great fan. He has watched my films, Ghayal, Ghatak, and others—so I think he used the dialogue just out of respect. I mean, they have used the title, which is very sweet."
