The resounding success of Gadar 2 manifested in a captivating press conference held today in Mumbai, marking a triumphant milestone as the film effortlessly crossed the remarkable benchmark of Rs. 130 crores within a mere span of three days. An unusually talkative Sunny Deol took center stage, engaging the audience with insights into various dimensions of the film's creation and significance.
When questioned about potential reservations stemming from the extended gap since the release of the first installment, Gadar – Ek Prem Katha, a staggering 22 years ago, Sunny Deol responded with resolute determination. "Our thought process didn't dwell on such concerns," he explained. "We carried an unshakable conviction and chose to forge ahead. The field remained unexplored for two decades. Why wasn't anyone venturing into this territory? Had there been more films like this, the discourse would have been different. The field was ripe for exploration. Hence, we stepped in and executed our vision!"
Sunny Deol shed light on the unprecedented extent of his promotional efforts for Gadar 2, which left many intrigued. "The Gadar series holds an exceptionally profound place in my heart. My connection to Tara Singh runs deep. I couldn't bear the thought of any inadequacies in portraying Tara Singh. Hence, I embraced the opportunity to connect with the audience, enabling them to witness Tara Singh's essence and form a profound bond."
With a hint of humor, he added, "It's somewhat puzzling, but it seems I've found my voice now! In the past, I was scarcely known for speaking up. Who would have thought that I'd become such a talkative presence?"
Shariq Patel, Chief Business Officer of Zee Studios, graced the event and fielded inquiries regarding the possibility of tax exemption for Gadar 2. He shared, "We have duly submitted our applications, though the process entails a certain timeframe. Regardless of the outcome of the tax exemption request, the film's triumphant run remains indisputable. The decision rests with the authorities. Ideally, tax exemption would enhance accessibility, allowing a broader audience to experience the film's brilliance. Perhaps, it's a topic worth exploring in your narratives!"
The press conference gathered an illustrious ensemble, including not only Sunny Deol and Shariq Patel but also the esteemed director Anil Sharma, Utkarsh Sharma, a co-actor who contributed significantly to the film, and the accomplished writer Shaktimaan. Together, they infused this event with an unforgettable aura, commemorating a momentous chapter in the annals of Indian cinema.
