Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, one of the year's biggest hits, was produced by Ameesha Patel and Sunny Deol. The group has created Gadar 2, its follow-up, more than 20 years later. It has proven to be a similarly lucrative movie at the box office. However, Ameesha and the movie's director, Anil Sharma, have been engaged in a verbal spat.
In a media chat with a daily, Ameesha opened up about Gadar and Sharma. She revealed, "For me, Gadar was always about Sunny and for Zee. In fact, Mr. Nitin Kenny (Gadar Ek Prem Katha producer) was the reason I was in Gadar 1, and Mr. Anil Sharma preferred Mamta Kulkarni over me. Anil Sharma wanted Govinda as Tara, but Zee wanted Sunny Deol. So yes, his and my choices are poles apart. Zee Studios and Sunny have always been the reason for me to do Gadar." She further credited writer Shaktiman Talwar for creating the character of Sakeena. "The script, which was written by Shaktiman ji, as Anil ji always says, also, it was Mr. Shaktiman who created Sakina, not Anil Sharma," she further added.
The actress also told that she feels bad for Anil Sharma because "he tried to push his son Utkarsh a lot in Gadar 2, but eventually, Tara and Sakina stole the limelight." She also hoped that his son Utkarsh Sharma would start getting more offers “as he’s a sweet boy and no boy would like to only be signed by his dad.”
