Anil Sharma, who helmed the 2001 movie, is returning as the director of the sequel as well. Gadar 2 also stars Anil Sharma's son Utkarsh Sharma, who featured as a child artist in Gadar. Gadar, which eventually became a blockbuster, was the story of a Sikh truck driver named Tara Singh, played by Sunny Deol, who fell in love with a Muslim girl Sakina, portrayed by Ameesha Patel. Tara and Sakina's love story was set against the Hindu-Muslim riots during the Partition era.
Earlier this year, as Gadar clocked 20 years, director Anil Sharma said in a statement, reported PTI: "Tara could only be played by Sunny. I needed someone extremely powerful, extremely innocent. There''s no one in the industry apart from him to do this. I had him in mind while conceptualizing the film. I knew Sunny would be iconic in the film."
