Sunny Deol, Utkarsh Sharma Celebrate Gadar 2 Success With Media, Ameesha Patel Give It A Miss

Sunny Deol said he was stressed before the release of 'Gadar 2' but the overwhelming response has made him emotional.

I was very stressed, everyone is stressed about something in life because everyone works hard and they don't want to fail. In my life, I've always walked on the path of truth and that's the most difficult thing to do.

But when you attain success, you do feel very good about it. When this film released, I realised I've God's blessings. I was crying and happy at the same time. I met my father that day, I told him that I'm very happy and going crazy, Deol told reporters at the success press conference of the film.

Though Ameesha Patel was not seen at the press conference, Utkarsh Sharma, who plays Sunny's son in the film, was also present.

In the movie, Deol reprised his iconic role of Tara Singh alongside returning cast members -- Ameesha Patel as Sakeena and Utkarsh Sharma as Charanjeet.

'Gadar 2' is set in 1971 and follows Tara Singh's journey to Pakistan to rescue his son, Charanjeet Singh from the Pakistani Army. The original was set during the Partition period.

I'm connected with Tara Singh and I didn't want to leave any stone unturned for Tara Singh. I wanted to connect with the audience because I wanted them to connect with Tara Singh, Deol said.

Going forward, Deol said he would continue making films that entertain everyone across generations. (All images: Manav Manglani)
