Gadar 2 makers working towards sending the film for Oscars: Anil Sharma

Gadar 2 filmmakers plan to send the Sunny Deol starrer to the Oscars.

As Gadar 2 continues to rule at the box office, the filmmakers plan to send the Sunny Deol starrer to the Oscars.

Gadar 2 director Anil Sharma talked to the media and shared how he and his team are working towards completing application procedures for the Academy Awards. He said, “People are calling me repeatedly to send the film to the Oscars.”

When questioned if Gadar 2 will go to the Oscars, the director said, “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.”

The filmmaker added, “It feels like I’ve not worked. I don’t know who sits on the award panels that they don’t give us any awards. I remember how Dharam ji (Dharmendra) once shared that he’d get new suits tailored and wear new ties for award shows, wishing he’d win an award. But he would never get an award. He had said, ‘I don’t feel I have been a part of this industry.’
