Did Akshay Kumar save Sunny Deol's luxurious Juhu villa from being auctioned? 'Gadar 2' actor's team reveals the truth

Speculations have been rife about Akshay Kumar financially helping out his fellow actor Sunny Deol, ever since news came out that the latter's luxurious Juhu villa was being auctioned to recover a bank loan. However, the truth is out now.

Deol's sprawling Mumbai property at Juhu’s Gandhigram road, named Sunny Villa, was slated for auction by the Bank of Baroda in a bid to get back a substantial loan amount of Rs 55.99 crore given to the actor. The minimum bid amount for 'Sunny Villa' was set at Rs 5.14 crore.

The bank even put out an ad in the newspaper saying they'll sell the house on September 25.



Following this a media report came out claiming that Kumar has stepped forward to help Deol with his loan repayment and allegedly offered to pay a 'huge chunk' of the loan for Sunny. In return, Deol would pay him back later.

However, a statement obtained by India TV from Deol's management has quashed these rumours, labelling them as "completely untrue and false."

Further, additional clarifications have emerged from Kumar's spokesperson, asserting to Hindustan Times that all such claims were "absolutely untrue."

Also, on Monday, the bank withdrew the e-auction notice and claimed that there was a technical glitch.

“Corrigendum to e-auction notice with regards to sale auction notice in respect of Mr. Ajay Singh Deol alias Mr. Sunny Deol stands withdrawn due to technical reasons," read the statement.

This news came on the heels of the ongoing box office clash between Kumar's 'OMG 2' and Deol's 'Gadar 2', both of which have garnered commendable numbers.

'OMG 2' managed to amass a significant amount, raking in Rs 113.67 crore in just 10 days, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh. On the other hand, 'Gadar 2' achieved an impressive milestone, accumulating a sum of Rs 377 crores as of August 21.
