Pump up the Gadar
The team behind Gadar 2: The Katha Continues re-released their 2001 blockbuster, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, on Friday. During the special screening, Sunny Deol recalled the difficulties in bringing Anil Sharma’s directorial venture to the cinemas. Sharing that they were confident their film would create a “gadar”, he said, “People used to say, ‘yeh Punjabi film hai. Isse Hindi mein dub karo’. Some distributors said, ‘Main toh nahin kharidunga yeh film’. We did face a lot of issues. Lekin junta ko film itni pasand aayi ki unhone sab ka munh bandh karwa diya. [They gave us the strength to make a sequel].” When asked about the famous hand-pump uprooting scene in the first instalment, the actor said, “This time, they hid all the hand-pumps in advance.”
