Gadar 2's raw action: Director Anil Sharma ditches VFX for genuine stunts, promises real-life thrills

Gadar 2 is making headlines since it’s inception. Along with the beautiful chemistry of the iconic duo Tara Singh and Sakina, a heartwarming father-son bond, the film also portrays high-octane action sequences. Director Anil Sharma is glad that he opted for an authentic approach to fight scenes over VFX for Gadar 2. 

The film promises an array of larger-than-life action sequences that rely more on genuine stunts over VFX.

Anil Sharma explains, “I don’t consider it old-school action. It’s raw action. Look at some of Tom Cruise’s stunts in the Mission Impossible series or Nolan’s Oppenheimer, even in the US, artistes are striving to keep things real and that’s what I wanted to do.” 

He adds, “During the making of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, we meticulously choreographed real-life action scenes to deliver an authentic experience that was embraced by the audience. With Gadar 2, we were committed to preserving that same level of authenticity. The film boasts of real action scenes and not just VFX. Our goal was to revisit the golden era of Indian cinema and uphold the film’s legacy.”

The movie also stars Utkarsh Sharma, Simrat Kaur, Manish Wadhwa, and Gaurav Chopra in pivotal roles. In Gadar 2, Tara Singh takes the story ahead and goes to Pakistan to find his son, Jeetey.

Helmed by Director-Producer Anil Sharma, and produced by Zee Studios, the movie stars Superstar Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in lead roles. The movie is scheduled to release in cinemas on 11th August 2023.
