OMG 2 actress Yami Gautam opened up about her film clashing with the much-awaited, Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2. This Independence Day, Anil Sharma's directorial Gadar 2 will release with Akshay Kumar-starrer OMG 2. Some may call it a clash, others might call it a festive period for the box office. Two distinct movies with different genres, with the biggest stars, releasing on a national holiday weekend, this clash can be proven to be Indian Barbheimer (The term used for recent hits Barbie and Oppenheimer, which were released on the same day).
Recently Yami interacted with the media, and when she was asked about the so-called clash of OMG 2 with Gadar 2, Yami revealed that she's a fan of Sunny Deol, and supported Gadar 2. "I have a picture of (Gadar 2) cutout with the hand pump, I will post it, and will wish Sunny sir. We all are his fans, and we all love him. We all have watched Gadar (Ek Prem Katha) in theatres, and I am wishing, the more the better for the audience. Gadar 2 has its own audience, we have our own audience. I hope the audience watches both films." Yami further hoped that Gadar 2 and OMG 2 will be India's example of the recent internet phenomenon Barbheimer. "Just like the recent two Hollywood films released on the same day, and they both did really well. (They) had their own audience. So I hope the same happens here."
