We have ended the film with this message that it will continue even further. But it will take some time to become Gadar 3, but the audience can remain sure that it will not take 20 years. We hope that its shooting will start in the next two years. We have worked on the script. It will be based on the stories of Tara and Jeeta.

It has been 2 years since Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel starrer film ‘Gadar-2’ released. In this 2023 blockbuster movie, many stars including Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel were seen and many stars including Utkarsh Sharma, Simrat Kaur, Love Sinha. Made for 60 crores, this film earned 691 crores. At the same time, on the completion of two years of the film, Gadar 2 Director Anil Sharma has made many revelations about the movie.

The director already knew the film will earn 500 crores
On the anniversary of the film, the director of the movie Anil Sharma while talking to IANS said that he knew beforehand that this film would earn 500 crores. That is why he had sent an e-mail to Zee Studio about it before its release. Taking forward his point, he said that he knew the film would be super hit. Anil Sharma said, Gadar was’ very big hit but ‘Gadar 2’ managed to achieve great success from day one. Actually, on August 2, I sent an email to G, in which it was predicted that the film would cross the 500 crore mark. This was done before advance booking started.

Anil Sharma also updated about Gadar 3
In this special interview, Anil Sharma spoke many more interesting things. When the filmmaker was questioned about the most challenging part of the movie, he said, ‘I had to find a way to advance the story of’ Gadar 1 ‘. We spent a lot of time to think about it, but when the story finally got ready, the wait was worthwhile. One of the best things was that Utkarsh, who plays the child in ‘Gadar’, is making a comeback as an adult in ‘Gadar 2’. I think this will be the first time in the world when a child artist grows up and repeating the same role.

When will Gadar 3 come?
Along with this, filmmaker Anil Sharma also gave updates on ‘Gadar-3’. He said, “We are making Gadar 3, the story will continue even further.

Anil sharam on bollywood solense on Pakistan: Taking a revenge for the Pahalgam terror attack, India launched Operation Sindoor. After this, Indian armed forces entered Pakistan and PoK and destroyed 9 terrorist hideouts. Since then there is a lot of stressful relations between the two countries. Amidst all this, all the artists of Pakistan are spewing a lot of poison against India, but the rest of the celebs have left the silence about it. Someone is surprised to see why Bollywood has stitched lips against Pakistan. In such a situation, the Gadar director has revealed the reason for this during an interview.

After all, what is Bollywood afraid,
Actually, during an interview to Zee News, Anil Sharma was asked that Bollywood is afraid of talked about? Show a post in which someone has taken the name of Pakistan. On this, the Gadar director said, “I had posted a post on the day the operation was vermilion. Because any country is bad. The country who supports terrorism cannot be right. The common citizens in that country will be right. The artists of that country will be right because if they live there, you will also tweet against India. The bad thing is that you are supporting terror.

When India kills more than 100 people under Operation Sindoor, he also blows their terrorist bases around Islamabad around Lahore. Big officers of the army there join the funeral of those terrorists. He can be his friend or relatives, but more than the emotion that was seen on TV, he felt that he was trying to show that we are with them. It seemed that the terrorist was his factory which was broken. This message that is coming is very frightening. This is not right for the whole world. Such people should be boycotted from the film industry to Indian trade.

Anil Sharma told the reason for Bollywood’s silence on Pakistan
Anil Sharma was asked, what is the fear? Is there a fear of marketing that the market will go or our followers will go, what is the fear? On this, Anil Sharma said that you have answered your questions yourself. What should I give? You gave the answer to the questions yourself. There is a very big overseas market, there is a big Pakistani audience in that overseas market. And there are also his followers very big. Every man thinks that this time has come, it will go away. My followers will end. My world will end, my market will not be of overseas, many people can think of this.

Anil Sharma further says, I do not know whether it is right or is it. But if you said, I made your talk second, I am not no weather, it is true or it is a lie. But I do not think like this. For me there is nothing ahead of the country, if we have a country, we go anywhere in the world, we will even tell us that they are Indians.

Turkia With the shooting in What did Anil Sharma say
Regarding shooting in Turki, Anil Sharma said, I am doing a script with Utkarsh. In that I was thinking that we would shoot in Turki. The Turki is a very beautiful country and good. Edge A Director Location is very good. I feel like shooting there, but now it is very difficult for me to think in these circumstances.
