In a recent turn of events, it has been revealed that Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is stepping in to assist fellow actor Sunny Deol in a time of financial trouble. Reports surfaced stating that Sunny Villa, a property owned by Sunny Deol situated in Mumbai's upscale Juhu area, was slated for e-auction due to outstanding dues totaling Rs. 55.99 crores. This information came to light through a notice published by the Bank of Baroda in The Times Of India on August 20. The e-auction was scheduled for September 25, 2023.

The notice named Ajay Singh Deol (Sunny Deol) as the borrower and guarantor, with Vijay Singh Deol (Bobby Deol) and Dharmendra Deol listed as guarantors. Additionally, Sunny Sounds Pvt. Ltd. was named as the corporate guarantor. Following the rapid spread of this news, Sunny Deol's spokesperson issued a statement asserting their commitment to resolving the matter and urged against speculating further.

In the midst of the speculation regarding a potential settlement, it has now been revealed that Akshay Kumar, after a meeting with Sunny Deol on August 20, has taken the initiative to help Sunny Deol in this crisis. The reported deal involves Akshay Kumar extending a substantial sum to cover a significant portion of the debt. Sunny Deol would then repay this loan to Akshay Kumar within an agreed-upon timeframe. The next steps reportedly involve Sunny Deol engaging with bank officials to move the process forward. While the exact loan amount from Akshay Kumar has not been officially confirmed, sources suggest it could be in the range of Rs. 30-40 crores.

A source within the industry commented on the situation, highlighting how this gesture reflects the sense of unity within the film fraternity during times of need. The source also lauded Akshay Kumar for his generosity and willingness to step up for a fellow actor.

Interestingly, both Sunny Deol's film "Gadar 2" and Akshay Kumar's "OMG 2" were released on the same day, August 11. Notably, both actors showed mutual support for each other's projects. Akshay Kumar even featured a scene in "OMG 2" where he sings a classic song from "Gadar," underlining the camaraderie and goodwill between the two stars.
