Sunny replied, “Chalne na chalne ki baat nhi hai, period ki baat hai. Hum thodi aaj ka period bata rhe hai. hum toh period bata rahe hai 1971. (It’s not about working or not working. It’s about the period. We are showing the period of 1971).”
‘Gadar 2’ is set in the middle of the chaotic 'Crush India Movement’ in 1971. The film depicts Tara Singh and Sakeena's legacy, with Tara Singh travelling to Pakistan to rescue their son Charan Jeet Singh (Utkrash Sharma), who was being held by the Pakistani Army.
