Gadar 2, the highly-anticipated sequel to Bollywood’s iconic film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, is generating immense excitement among fans as its release date approaches. Scheduled to hit the screens on August 11, 2023, the film has already created waves on social media. Recently, the makers released the first song from the film, a recreated version of the popular track ‘Udja Kaale Kaawa.’ Fans are eagerly awaiting more as they anticipate the next song, ‘Main Nikla Gaddi Leke,’ a folk number that was a chartbuster in its time.
Director Anil Sharma expressed his thoughts on the film, stating that while folk songs are commonly used in movies, this is the first time a film song is being treated as a folk song. He emphasized that the song can be heard everywhere in Rajasthan today, showcasing the achievement of composer Uttam Singh and lyricist Anand Bakshi in creating this unique fusion. Mithoon has added a modern and youthful touch to the song with his recreation for the film. Sharma believes that when audiences witness the chemistry between the characters Tara and Sakeena in the song, it will evoke nostalgia and fond memories.
Sharma intends to dedicate the song to the audience who showered their love on Gadar, emphasizing that the song belongs to the public and they are the ones enjoying it.
Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel will reprise their roles from the original film, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which made a significant impact on the Hindi film industry and became a blockbuster.
In Gadar 2, the film will primarily focus on the unbreakable bond between father and son, Tara Singh and Charanjeet (Jeete) respectively. Utkarsh Sharma, who portrayed Jeete in the first film, will once again play an Indian soldier. Reports suggest that the story will undergo a significant shift, including a 20-year leap that revolves around the 1970 India-Pakistan war. This time, Tara Singh will cross the border not to rescue his wife Sakeena but to save his son’s life.
To fill the void left by the late Amrish Puri, Manish Wadhwa has been cast in the role. Wadhwa, known for his remarkable negative character in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan, will bring his talent to the film. Actor Rohit Choudhary, recognized for his work in films and television serials like Bareilly Ki Barfi, Naagin, and Kumkum Bhagya, has also been roped in as the second antagonist in Gadar 2. Sunny Deol, portraying Tara Singh, will be seen battling against these two adversaries in the movie.
Gadar, made with a modest budget of Rs 19 crores, stands in stark contrast to its successor, Gadar 2, which is rumored to be crafted with a whopping budget of Rs 100 crores. Alongside Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Utkarsh Sharma, Manish Wadhwa, and Rohit Choudhary, the film will also feature Simrat Kaur, Gaurav Chopra, Mir Sarwar, Anil George, and Luv Sinha in pivotal roles. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Gadar 2 and are excited to witness the magic it has in store.
