Sunny Deol and Amrita Singh's debut movie Betaab has completed 41 years today, and to celebrate the same, the actor has shared a throwback video. Read on to know the thoughts of nostalgic fans.
Sunny Deol and Amrita Singh made their smashing debuts with the 1983 film Betaab. Written by Javed Akhtar under the direction of Rahul Rawail, this romantic saga became one of the most successful films of that time, emerging as the 2nd highest grossing of 1983 as well. August 5th marks the 41 years of Betaab’s theatrical release, and Deol is over the moon.
For the unversed, Betaab revolves around two youngsters who fall in love despite the class difference between their families. The actor took to his Instagram and shared a throwback video from the movie, which had a lot of clips from the film and the iconic song ‘Jab Hum Jawan Honge’ playing in the background. Sunny Deol captioned his trip down memory lane, “41 Years of #Betaab, My first film.”

Soon after the video went viral, several users took to the comment section and demanded a re-release of Betaab similar to how many other movies are hitting back in theatres. Another user wrote, “One of the best movies ever made by Sunny and Amrita. She's an awesome performer. Great voice delivery.”
On the work front, Pinkvilla recently exclusively reported that Sunny Deol’s upcoming movie with Gopichand Malineni has been titled Jatt. Produced by Mythri Productions, Jatt is slated to hit the big screen in the second half of 2025. The actor also recently wrapped up the shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi-backed Lahore: 1947, which is being bankrolled by Aamir Khan.
Our source further revealed the actor’s plan for the next few months and shared, “Sunny is expected to wrap up shooting for the film by early September and will then switch gears to Ramayana and Border 2. He is also discussing and exploring the timelines for shooting director Abbas Mustan’s next film.”
While Deol’s Gadar 3 has already been announced, there’s no surety whether he will also reprise his character in it. 2023 released Gadar 2 on the other hand was a smashing hit and also starred Ameesha Patel, Utkarsh Sharma, and Simrat Kaur in key roles. Directed by Anil Sharma, the movie emerged as the eighth highest-grossing Bollywood movie of all time.
