In a little over a month, Sunny Deol will be seen on the big screen reprising the role of Tara Singh in 'Gadar 2'. His character along with Ameesha Patel's Sakina had become wildly popular after the release of Gadar in 2001. Now, it has been revealed that senior actor Nana Patekar will be doing a voiceover for the film.
'Gadar 2' will start with the voice of Nana Patekar as he introduces the film. For the first film, actor Om Puri was the narrator.
