You have to make it your own, raise it well. A film is like a child that belongs to an entire team. If the film needs it, it will come from my core. I don’t believe in the concept of showing off how much I know and what all I am capable of. I have done so many films and I always like to go with my heart.

To this day, the film works great numbers on TV and people still enjoy the innocence and the heartfelt emotions of the movie. By the time Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was released, I was already shooting something else. Sharmaji and I are not the kind of people who go to places and discuss a film. Despite the box office numbers, no one acknowledged the film at any award show that year. The industry and the critics didn’t like our film. They took a piece of it home and today, it’s their film. But the day the film was up in the theatres, it won the hearts of the audience. I would have owned two territories’ distribution rights if my friends whose sense of judgement I trusted hadn’t thumbed it down. The initial reaction was, ‘Yaar yeh dated lag rahi hai’. But it didn’t shake our belief in what we had made. Picture lagne se pehle, yeh sab ho raha tha.

At a trial that we had, I was advised to dub the film in Hindi before releasing it. When the film was shown to select sets, people found the music and the look of the film outdated, but we loved it. Bring this up and Sunny says, “Humne toh ji wo banaya jo humein accha lag raha tha. Two decades ago, Sunny and Anil faced severe heat and criticism from the industry and critics for their patriotism-meets-romance story set in the pre and early post-Independence years. Boota Singh’s love story inspired us but we gave it our own spin. Unfortunately or fortunately, that film never got made.

When Sharmaji (Anil Sharma) had first told me about Gadar…I had told him that Papa was offered a film similar to it. There’s a real-life love story of Boota Singh which became the thread of our story back then. Recalling the time when Anil and he worked together on Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, Sunny says, “Few people would know this. Back in 2001, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha had set the cash registers ringing, and this time, too, the team plans to invest the same honesty and diligence into their project. The preparation for the film began two years ago when Sunny approved the idea for a sequel. The film will soon go on floors and track the journey of Tara Singh’s wife (played by Ameesha Patel) and son ( Utkarsh Sharma) after they escape Pakistan. On 20 years of this movie, I want to congratulate everyone as it's your film, too," Sharma summed up about the Zee Studios production.Actor-filmmaker Sunny Deol and director Anil Sharma are gearing up to start work on Gadar 2. Whoever has watched the film, it's their film. I trusted Sunny and he completed the scene so well," he added. I questioned myself, what if there was a mishap? I didn't have to place the child on Sunny's shoulder, it was a huge risk I took. This was one of the most difficult scenes of my life and career. When I heard the sound of the train stopping, I opened my eyes and was immensely relieved. "While directing that scene, I remember closing my eyes with several questions and thoughts running through my mind. Whenever I remember the scene, I still get anxious and get goosebumps," the filmmaker said. The train was at a speed that made it even more difficult. Utkarsh was on Sunny's shoulder and he had to run from one compartment to the other. "A challenging sequence was the climax where Sunny (Deol) had to carry my son Utkarsh (who played Sunny's son Jeeta in the film) on his shoulders and run on the train's roof with Ameesha (Patel). He recalls the extreme challenge of shooting the climax action scene, on the roof of a train. Gold will always be gold whether you wear in your neck, ears or as rings," Sharma said.

Just like Game Of Thrones is creating magic, if this movie was also released today it would have the same impact. But even if it had come on OTT, it would still be this magical. It is a movie that was made to be watched around people. "A film like Gadar cannot be released on OTT.
