Gadar 2 'Main Nikla Gaddi Leke' composer Utam Singh slams the makers They should at least have the etiquette to ask me once

In an interview with Amar Ujala, Uttam Singh said in Hindi, “They didn’t call me for Gadar 2 and I don’t have the habit of calling and asking for work. They have used two of my songs in the film and I have also heard that they have used the background music that I composed. They should at least have the etiquette to ask me once and talk to me before using my songs in the film.”

After the film crossed Rs. 400 crore mark at the box office, Sunny Deol took to Instagram to share a video to thank the audiences. In the video, he said, “Hello everyone. First and foremost, aap sab ka bahut bahut dhanyawaad. Aapko picture pasand aayi. Maine socha bhi nahi tha. Hum log 400 cross kar chuke hai, aage jaenge. But yeh sab aapke wajah se hua hai, aapko film pasand aayi, Tara Singh pasand aya, Sakeena pasand ayi, pura parivar pasand aya. So, thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Gadar 2 is a story about Tara Singh, Sakeena and their son who gets captured in Pakistan and Tara defies all odds to rescue him.

Dream Girl 2 Advance Booking: Ayushmann Khurrana starrer sells close to 27,000 tickets for its first day

Director Raaj Shaandilyaa’s Dream Girl (2019) was one of the many hits that Ayushmann Khurrana gave a few years ago. But this one turned out to be much different that the other films the actor did. This one was an out-and-out laugh riot that was very much in the zone of David Dhawan and Govinda movies of the 1990s. The anticipation for the film’s sequel Dream Girl 2 is also quite high and this can be seen from the decent advance booking the film has generated.
