“When I was making Gadar, I understood that it’ll become India’s Titanic and it did become one. When the record of tickets was revealed, we got to know its sale was even more than Titanic. Such was its footfall. To this day, it is said that Gadar had the maximum sale of tickets and footfall seen by any movie in India. We’ve had bigger filmmakers in our industry, but this is God’s blessing that my film created such a record. You see the magic is still the same when it airs on television even today,” Anil Sharma told indianexpress.com in an exclusive interview.
He had also hinted that Gadar 2 will take forward Tara and Sakina’s love story. “The entire nation wants Tara Singh to come back, that Jeete grows up,” he said about Gadar 2.
Gadar 2 is scheduled for 2022 release.
