We spoke to director Anil Sharma on Sunny Deol's birthday.
Director Anil Sharma does not believe Sunny Deol's comeback from 'Gadar 2' Sunny Deol's film 'Gadar 2' is the most successful film of his career. He made a great comeback with this film. However, the film's director Anil Sharma does not consider this to be Sunny's comeback. He said, 'People say Gadar 2 marked Sunny Deol's comeback. I don't believe this. He was never gone, so where would the comeback come from?
Sunny Deol's eyes were filled with tears after hearing the story Anil Sharma said, 'I didn't believe that 'Gadar-2' would happen. If you want to make a sequel to a film like 'Mother India', it cannot happen. Exactly the same problem was with 'Gadar – Ek Prem Katha'. But we felt that there was a missing piece, based on which the story could be told. What happens when Tara Singh's son 'Jite' grows up? When we developed the story and narrated it to Sunny, her eyes filled with tears. The sure question in his mind was how would that happen? I assured him that everything would be fine.'
'Gadar' cannot be imagined without Sunny Deol 'I wanted to do a period film. I always felt that Sunny Deol is the best actor for our film. We thought about the story and when the character of Tara Singh came up, we felt that there is no better actor for it than Sunny. At that time he was shooting in Ooty. He felt compelled to tell the story. After listening to the story for 10 minutes, he had only one question: Will the film feel realistic? I assured them that it would be so.'
Sunny said that perfectly in the story Invol will be After hearing the story of 'Gadar', Sunny asked a question. Said can I be involved in this story? He goes to bed early that night, but continues to discuss the story for 3-4 hours that night. Next morning he said, I will do this film, start preparation. Whatever question came to Sunny's mind before shooting, he asked it without any hesitation. However, he never interfered once the shooting started.
