Starring in movies including Commando, Force, and Khuda Haafiz, Jammwal did not hold back when criticizing Kadel for his immoral and illegal actions. “It is illegal to ask for a bribe, and it is illegal to give one,” he wrote.”My offense is not contributing?” #sumitkadel…Thus, if you give someone praise, we are aware of the offender.
Kadel, who has more than 200k Twitter followers, has not yet addressed Jammwal’s accusations. Nonetheless, a large number of Jammwal’s supporters and business associates have come out in favour of him, commending him for exposing the corruption in the film industry.

Kadel also made a cryptic post
When popularity turns into arrogance, it’s a downfall. Despite nepotism tags, ‘khaandaani’ stars often exhibit humility. Today, encountered a so-called outsider whose rudeness was appalling. Understandably, top industry figures avoid working with him.
Jammwal, who is renowned for his physical prowess and commitment to his art, has frequently discussed the difficulties and prejudice he encountered in the film business. He has also made a point of criticizing Bollywood’s action heroes for their lack of opportunity and acknowledgement.
Crakk battled Article 370 during the weekend
On Friday, February 23, Yami Gautam’s Article 370 and the action-packed Bollywood blockbuster “Crakk,” starring Vidyut Jammwal, were both launched in theaters. Since its release, the former has been superior to the latter. Crakk saw a downturn on Day 2 after earning ₹4.25 crore net on its first day of business. On February 24, its figures dropped by 49.41%, and on Sunday, February 25, it showed only little growth with 13.33 percent Hindi occupancy and an 11.63 percent increase in collection.
With a net total of 8.76 crore, the movie fell short of reaching double digits. Vidyut Jamwal’s box office performance has not improved in ten years, and this lavish production is expected to fail with a net lifetime of between 22 and 25 crore at best.

The main cast of Aditya Dutt’s film includes Vidyut Jammwal in the lead role, Nora Fatehi, Arjun Rampal, and Amy Jackson in supporting roles. The movie is produced by “Action Hero Films” and shot on a ₹45 crore budget.
