Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, has dominated headlines ever since its release. Anil Sharma, the director, has recently stated that his movie should be nominated for an Oscar. For the uninitiated, the film is edging closer to the Rs 500 crore milestone at the domestic box office.
Anil Sharma plans to send Sunny Deol starrer for Oscars
Sharma recently said in an interview with the Indian Express that he is striving to finish the Academy Awards entry process. “People are calling me repeatedly to send the film to the Oscars,” he said. “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001) didn’t go, so I don’t know how Gadar 2 will go, but we are at it. But Gadar 2 should go; the film deserves it. Gadar also deserved it. Gadar was based on the 1947 partition, and we told the story in a very different way. It was a new and original story, and Gadar 2 is also a new and original story,” the director added.
Anil Sharma continued by saying that in order for Gadar 2 to receive awards, he too needs to feel appreciated. “We have touched people’s hearts with Gadar 2. I won’t lie, but even we want awards. But I don’t expect it because I know that I won’t get it. I hear there is lots of lobbying and PR involved in these things, and I am not a political person. I have never lobbied for awards," he said.
He also stated in the same conversation that he wants awards to be recognized. He did, however, voice his opinion that he won't receive any because he never asked for out awards.
