Sunny Deol on Gadar 2
In a conversation with Komal Nahta, Sunny Deol admitted that he was really afraid of making Gadar 2 because the first film had a certain warmth and beauty that had settled in people's hearts. "I feared that if I made a sequel and something went wrong, the essence that people cherished might get ruined," he shared.
The actor further added that he was not able to move past that fear. "But when I heard the story… The good thing about the film is that we stayed true to the same characters, the same era and portrayed it with full confidence. We did not try to modernize it too much… because we would have fallen flat on our faces," Sunny said.
