Bollywood actor Sunny Deol's 'Gadar', which shattered box-office records 22 years ago, is returning with its sequel. The first poster from the sequel titled 'Gadar 2' was unveiled on Thursday and it shows an intense Tara Singh, played by Sunny, holding a hammer.
Sunny Deol who is all set to reprise his iconic role of Tara Singh, too took to Instagram and dropped the first poster of his much-awaited next.
"Hindustan Zindabaad Haiâ¦.Zindabaad Tha.. .aur Zindabaad Rahega! This Independence Day, we bring to you the biggest sequel in Indian cinema after two decades. #Gadar2 releasing in Cinemas on 11th August 2023", wrote Sunny alongside the post along with a fire emoji.
The film has also set its release date as August 11, 2023.
The Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer created an insurmountable stir in Bollywood when it released in 2001 and clashed against Aamir Khan's Oscar nominated 'Lagaan'.
Actor Sunny Deol stated: "'Gadar - Ek Prem Katha' has been an eminent part of my life, personally as well as professionally. Tara Singh from Gadar isn't just a protagonist but went on to become a cult icon that defied all odds and crossed all boundaries for his family and love. Collaborating with the team after 22 years was a creatively enriching experience."
