Earlier, in an interview with Hindustan Times City, Ameesha Patel revealed that she and Sunny Deol made several changes to Gadar 2. While she stopped short of claiming full control over the film, Patel acknowledged that they 'ghost-directed' certain portions, tweaking key scenes to ensure the movie remained a soulful experience for audiences.
Despite having creative differences with director Anil Sharma, she expressed deep respect for him. The actress also reflected on her time shooting the original Gadar, recalling how, even during their long shooting schedule, they often communicated their ideas through assistant directors. Though they've had disagreements, she mentioned that they always made up after their fights.
The much-awaited sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar premiered on August 11, 2023, marking an epic return for Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel as Tara Singh and Sakina. Their pairing, which became iconic in the original Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, was reignited after over two decades in Gadar 2.
The film's massive success at the box office catapulted both actors back into the limelight, solidifying their place as two of the most beloved stars in the industry.
