Sunny Deol’s Birthday Treat for Fans
On October 19, Sunny Deol shared the first look of his character from Jaat on social media, giving fans a glimpse of his intense avatar. In the poster, the actor is shown holding a giant fan-shaped weapon, with blood smeared across his hand and face. This bold look suggests a high-energy, action-filled revenge story. Sunny captioned his post: Introducing the man with a national permit for MASSIVE ACTION, hinting at his character’s larger-than-life persona.

Internet Reactions: Fans Are Divided
While Sunny Deol’s fans have shown overwhelming support and excitement for the movie, praising the actor’s return to an intense role, some internet users took a more humorous approach to the poster. Reddit users, in particular, pointed out the absurdity of the massive fan weapon, with some making jokes about the prop. Comments such as I am truly blown away and What A ugly poster highlighted the mixed reception of the look. Another user sarcastically noted, Jaat is not a good name for the movie.. It should be Kabhie Pump, Kabhie Fan!, poking fun at the choice of weapon.
