Gadar 2 trailer launch: Anil Sharma opens on Sunny Deol’s hammer scene: “My team said, ‘Bollywood aur South ke stars yeh scene karte toh bhi accha lagta lekin jaise Sunny sir lag rahe hai, waisa koi nahin lagta’”

Gadar – Ek Prem Katha (2001) is one of the biggest hits of Indian cinema. It elevated Sunny Deol’s stardom by many notches. He showed his romantic and comic side in the film but he was loved the most for his action avatar. Some of the action scenes in the film have achieved cult status. As a result, the expectations are immense from Gadar 2. The trailer of the film was launched yesterday, on July 26. The response has been positive, especially for the action sequences involving the veteran star.

Anil Sharma excitedly spoke about Sunny Deol at the trailer launch, “There’s a scene involving Sunny Deol doing action with a hammer. Our team of 10-15 people were sitting one day. I asked them, ‘Jo Bollywood aur South ke bade bade hero hai, woh yeh scene karte toh kaise lagta?’ They unanimously said, ‘Woh log karte toh bhi accha lagta lekin jaise Sunny sir lag rahe hai, waisa koi nahin lagta’!” As expected, fans and media broke into applause over this statement.

Anil Sharma also stated, “When I met him for the narration, he asked me, ‘Sharma ji, hum (Gadar 2) kyun bana rahe hai? Gadar itni badi hit hai. Uski ek legacy hai. I replied, ‘Kyunki poora Hindustan chahta hai ki Gadar 2 banein. Humein logon ki toh sunni chahiye’. This is when he agreed to a narration. When he heard the story, unki aankhon mein nanha sa ek aansoo aaya. That’s how the journey began’.”

Anil Sharma talked highly of Sunny Deol’s co-star Ameesha Patel, “Then Sakina came on board. I fail to understand yeh itni sundar kaise lagti hai? Inka roop badhta hi ja raha hai. Samay badh raha hai par inki umar kam hoti ja rahi hai!”

Gadar 2 releases in cinemas on August 11.

Gadar 2 Trailer Launch: Sunny Deol says there’s equal love between India and Pakistan: “It is the political game that creates all this hatred”

The trailer of Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, released on Wednesday. The trailer showcases Tara Singh in his formidable and action-packed avatar. The trailer was released on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Divas. The trailer was launched at a grand event attended by Anil Sharma, Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Utkarsh Sharma, Shariq Patel, Simrat Kaur, Mithoon, Alka Yagnik, Jubin Nautiyal and Aditya Narayan.

Set amidst the tumultuous ‘Crush India Movement’ of 1971, the trailer is packed with powerful dialogues, and high-octane action featuring military tankers, trucks, and the iconic hand pump. The India vs Pakistan storytelling has become the brand of Gadar over the years. However, Sunny Deol says that people of both countries have equal love for each other. It is the politics that birth the hatred.

Speaking to reporters at the Gadar 2 trailer launch, Sunny Deol, who is also BJP MP from Punjab’s Gurdaspur, said, ‘The essence lies in humanity, not in taking or giving. There is love on both sides (India-Pakistan). It is the political game that creates all this hatred. And you will see the same in this film as well that the people do not want us to fight with each other.”

The film is directed by Anil Sharma and produced by Zee Studios, Anil Sharma Productions and MM Moviez. It will release in theatres on August 11, 2023.

Gadar 2 trailer launch: “Anil Sharma mujhe naaraaz karte rehte hai aur main inse fight karti rehti hoon. I BLOCK him on Instagram and WhatsApp” – Ameesha Patel

Ameesha Patel is back on the big screen with Gadar 2, the much-awaited film, which releases on August 11. However, her presence ignited controversy, especially after she alleged that there was mismanagement on the sets of the film. Yesterday, that is, on July 25, the invite for the trailer launch of Gadar 2 was sent in which Ameesha Patel’s name was absent from the list of attendees. It raised eyebrows and gave rise to speculations that she is being kept away from the event. Ameesha did make it to the event but the media wasn’t allowed to ask questions impromptu and very selected and ‘safe’ questions were taken from the journalists beforehand. As a result, no one got a chance to ask Ameesha Patel about the allegations.

However, Ameesha Patel did open up a bit about her love-hate bond with Anil Sharma at the trailer launch. She began by cutely gesturing how Anil Sharma rubs both his hands while speaking to her. She said, “Anil ji bina saabun haath dhote rehte hai. I’ll show you.” She then demonstrated and it led to laughter.

Ameesha Patel continued, “During our first schedule in Palampur, he got obsessed with showing fog. We never heard ‘Cut’, ‘Action’, ‘Okay’ etc from him. Instead, he used to only shout ‘fog’, ‘fog’, ‘fog’. And yet, he used to say ‘Main VFX se aur fog add karunga’!”

Ameesha then said, “He’s a perfectionist. We have a father-daughter relationship. We fight a lot. Yeh mujhe naaraaz karte rehte hai aur main inse fight karti rehti hoon. I block him on Instagram and WhatsApp. Then I unblock him again. Yeh hamara rishta hai.”

It was also revealed that it was on Ameesha Patel’s recommendation that Anil Sharma’s son Utkarsh was cast as Tara Singh (Sunny Deol) and Sakina’s (Ameesha Patel) son in the first part. He also reprises the role in the sequel. Ameesha remarked, “I got Utkarsh on board for Gadar. I always tell Anil ji, ‘Aapke dono bacche itne khoobsurat hai ki Sakina aur Tara ki beti hoti toh aap apni beti bhi de dijiye mujhe’!”

Janhvi Kapoor reveals her ‘intrinsic fear’ of going unnoticed in Bollywood; recalls the most ‘insecure’ thing she has done amid PR strategies

Bawaal starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor released on Prime Video on July 21. Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film has opened to mixed reviews. The actress recently sat down for a conversation to talk about several aspects of the film industry. During the same chat, she talked about the PR game and how important it has become to do self-promotions in order to remain relevant in the industry.

In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the pressure of staying relevant in the industry and the PR strategies. She said, “I’ve been told there’s a major lack of PR on my part. But, you know, I have noticed in these past five years, so many people after a film releases the conversations always along the lines of ‘there’s no such thing as a bad film, it’s only bad marketing.’ ‘Arre aise promote karna chahiye tha’ (You must have promoted your film this way).”

She added, “I think that there’s an intrinsic fear when you are in an industry or in an environment where everyone kind of has, you know those speaker phones and everybody is shouting to do this and do that, and you are scared that if I’m the only quite one, would anyone even notice. But I think it takes a lot of courage to stick to your guns and be like no, my work is enough. I think that takes a lot and it’s very daunting. And most times we can’t follow through with it and I know that I have wavered.”

“I think it’s interesting to observe how the conversation is always marketing and PR driven and not so much that think about your films choices or may be this or may be that as oppose to ‘Aree thoda zyada naach leti toh shayad achha kar leti,” Janhvi further added.

During the same chat, when Varun Dhawan asked Janhvi about the most ‘insecure’ thing she has done for movie promotions, she said, “So I did this film called Mili and I got a lot of great reviews and appreciation for my performance, but it didn’t perform well at all at the box office. So, I was being told to take what you can from it and then they made these creatives of people saying a lot of positive things about just the performance. They (makers) were like okay, let’s plaster this everywhere so that people forget that it (Mili) only earned like negligible amounts of money at the box office. You know the good reviews, which is great and makes complete logical sense. It’s not even like we are lying, it’s the truth. I think…to get your brain to work in that way is like a 10 percent bikau (saleable) nature to what should be a sacred art form I think.”

Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor was seen alongside Varun Dhawan in Bawaal. The actress will next star in Mr and Mrs Mahi and Devara.

Mumbai court drops extortion charge against Javed Akhtar filed by Kangana Ranaut

A Mumbai court on Tuesday dismissed the extortion charge against lyricist Javed Akhtar which was filed by Kangana Ranaut. The case revolves around her public dispute with Hrithik Roshan. According to her plea, she alleged that Akhtar had called her and her sister Rangoli Chandel to his house in March 2016, and demanded an apology from her to Hrithik Roshan.

“Asking a person to give a written apology will not come under the definition of valuable security….because no legal right is created, extended, transferred, restricted, extinguished or released,” a Magistrate court said in Mumbai, as reported by India Today.

“However, the accused, with a malafide intention and ulterior motive, called her and her sister Rangoli Chandel at his house in Juhu in the month of March 2016 and criminally intimidated and threatened the complainant (Kangana Ranaut) as well as forced her to tender a written apology to the co-star thereby forcefully seeking to create a document (valuable security) in favour of her co-star,” the plea alleged.

It began when Ranaut allegedly made certain defamatory remarks against Akhtar in an interview after actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise on July 14, 2020. Following this, Akhtar filed a defamation case against her in 2020. After this, Ranaut filed the present complaint against Akhtar claiming that she was asked to apologise to Hrithik Roshan.

Kangana Ranaut had sought the complaint under Sections 383, 384, 387, 503, 506, 509, 44, 30 of the IPC. However, it was issued under sections 506 and 509.
