Anil Sharma aspires to submit Gadar 2 for the Oscars; says, “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha also deserved it”

Renowned filmmaker Anil Sharma has expressed his aspiration to submit his recent cinematic endeavour, Gadar 2 starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, for consideration at the prestigious Oscars. In a recent interview, Sharma revealed that he has been receiving persistent requests from individuals who believe that the film deserves a shot at the coveted international recognition.

Sharma conveyed his thoughts to The Indian Express, stating, “People are calling me repeatedly to send the film to the Oscars.” However, he also acknowledged the historical context, explaining, “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.”

During the same interview, the filmmaker emphasized his four-decade-long commitment to the craft of filmmaking. He stated, “I have been making films for forty years. It could turn out good or bad, but I made my films the way my heart feels. When people show love (to my films), I really feel happy. When they don't, I feel sad because I made films for the audience. I then work towards fixing the mistakes we did with the films that didn't do well because the audience is never wrong, the maker is.”

Gadar 2 stars Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma and is directed by Anil Sharma. Produced by Zee Studios, the film has garnered attention for its box office success and the dynamics surrounding its production and characters.
