No Plans For Gadar 2 Yet, Sunny Deol Denies It

 There were  reports recently  suggesting that Anil Sharma was  planning  a sequel to his  2002  mega-hit Gadar: EkPrem Katha the pre-Partition  love story about an Indian Sikh following his  lady-love into Pakistan  after  India  was divided  into two.

 The film  broke many boxoffice  records and went on to become  the  most successful film  of Sunny Deol’s career.

Now  17 years  later  the  Indian entertainment  media suddenly woke up  to  talks  of a sequel to the  film.

Sounded  far-fetched. The world had  moved on since Gadar was released.  Back then  talk about  Indo-Pak  amity was  encouraged on every platform including cinema where cross-border  love stories  like Gadar and Veer-Zara  were big boxoffice successes.

Who would attempt  something  suggesting a love relationship  across  the border  during these  times  of cross-border terrorism?

Not Sunny Deol, for sure, as he is currently  fighting election on  a  BJP  ticket.

When I asked Sunny about Gadar 2 he laughed, “I don’t have time to think of any  films right now.I don’t  know where this rumour came from.”

Director Anil Sharma also denied any  immediate plans of  a Gadar sequel.

Said Sharma, “News hai aati raheti hai. Jab kuch fix hoga I’ll let you know.”
That  takes care  of that.
