Sunny Deol’s villa, located in Juhu in west Mumbai, was earlier being auctioned by the Bank of Baroda to recover a loan, said to be around Rs 56 crore, given to the actor. However, a day after the statement was made, the bank withdrew the e-auction notice and claimed that there was a technical glitch. Now, a media report claimed that Akshay Kumar stepped forward to help Sunny with his loan repayment and allegedly offered to pay a 'huge chunk' of the loan for Sunny. To clarify the same, India TV reached out to actor's team.
According to Sunny Deol's manager, the reports of Akshay Kumar helping the former is untrue. "Completely untrue and false, " said Sunny's manager.

He immediately decided to help the Gadar 2 (2023) actor. As part of the deal, Akshay Kumar will be paying a huge chunk of the debt. Sunny Deol will then repay the loan to Akshay Kumar in a stipulated time. The next step for Sunny Deol is to immediately initiate a meeting with the bank officials."
