Gadar sequel: Two decades on, Sunny Deol back with his hand pump?

Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in Gadar

Think Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001), and you instantly remember Sunny Deol uprooting a hand pump in a fit of rage as he takes on the bad guys single-handedly. Not to mention that the romantic drama had released on the same day as Aamir Khan’s game-changing Lagaan (2001), and went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Two decades on, it is heard that director Anil Sharma is developing a sequel to the period drama. 
  
A source reveals, “The makers of Gadar have figured out the plot points and are working on a script. While Sunny and Ameesha Patel will be a part of the story, the director’s son Utkarsh, who essayed the role of their son Jeeta in the original, will play a pivotal part. The young actor had forayed into Bollywood in 2018 with Genius.”
