New Delhi: Bollywood’s veteran actor Sunny Deol is all geared up to be back in his iconic role of Gadar’s Tara Singh for the upcoming sequel of the movie Gadar 2.
With the much-hyped movie less than a month away from its grand independence week release, Sunny Doel and Ameesha Patel recently appeared in Kapil Sharma’s popular comedy show where they spoke about the upcoming movie, Gadar 1, and much more.
In a recently dropped promo of the show, Sunny was seen interacting with the show’s host Kapil Sharma while being dressed in Gadar’s Tara Singh attire. The moment he walked down the stage of the show, the audience was seen cheering in enjoyment as they welcomed their favourite actor by chanting Hindustan Zindabad over and over again.
Later, when Kapil Sharma asked Sunny how excited he is for the upcoming sequel, he replied in Punjabi saying, “I am excited as well as nervous.”
Was Bollywood against Gadar?
During the Show, Sunny told how he and the whole Gadar team was shown thumbs down by the Bollywood industry prior to the release of Gadar 1 but when the audience lifted up the movie and made it a blockbuster, everyone changed their attitude towards them.
Talking about Gadar’s unexpected success, Sunny revealed that after the movie’s re-release on the 9th of June, the public went crazy to see him as Tara Singh and Sakeena’s timeless chemistry in the theatres and the movie turned out to be a huge success one again.
He also spoke about Bollywood’s hostile attitude towards his movie back in 2001 by saying that Gadar 1 had to face a lot of issues due to distributors rejecting the movie saying “This is a Punjabi movie so I can’t buy it.”
“People use to suggest us to dub the movie’s dialogues in Hindi”, he added further.
Sunny thanks public for Gadar’s massive success
Later, Sunny also thanked the public for crushing all the negativity around the movie and making Gadar an all-time super hit by giving it so much love and appreciation.
“It’s only the Public’s love for Gadar 1 that has inspired us to make Gadar 2,” said Sunny as the public cheered and applauded.
