In an interview with ETimes, Anil Sharma who directed Gadar and helmed part 2 as well opened up on the gap between the two chapters. The director revealed that he was not convinced by stories written for Gadar 2 and almost 50 stories were scrapped before finalizing one. He didn’t want to use the brand name Gadar and just ride on it. He wanted a real story of Tara Singh and Sakina that goes ahead. He almost heard 50 stories but none ring a bell.

He then revealed how things fall into place and he got along with that one story. He recalled one day his co-writer Shaktiman visited his home and asked for 2 minutes saying he has a story for Gadar 2. Seeing a smile on his face Anil Sharma understood he has cracked it. With all the experience of working with Shaktiman, the director understood that a justified cracker of a story was ready. He then shared the story with his wife, Sunny Deol, and Zee Studios and everyone liked it. Anil Sharma also mentioned that he was clear that Gadar 2 would be part 2 of Tara Singh and Sakina’s life with Sunny Deol and Ameesha Deol playing the roles. He wouldn’t have made it without either of them.

Gadar 2: The Katha Continues will follow the story of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha with the same lead cast Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma the guy who played the young kid. Gadar 2 is scheduled to release in theaters on 11th August 2023.
