Gadar 2 teaser: Sunny Deol’s Tara Singh will ‘take Lahore in dahej’

The first teaser for Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s Gadar 2 is out. The short glimpse shows the return of Sunny’s Tara Singh a few years after the events of the original.

What’s in the teaser

The teaser takes us back to 1971 and a woman’s voiceover declaring Tara Singh the ‘damaad of Pakistan’. “Use naariyal do, teeka lagao. Warna is baar woh dahej mein Lahore le jaaega (Give him all the respects of a son-in-law or he’ll take Lahore as his dowry),” she says. We are teleported to Pakistan then where men chant for India’s downfall.

Tara Singh emerges from a crowd of men, throws a large wheel around and beats up a few. Later, he is seen in a more sombre mood as Teri Meri Ek Jind Di plays in the background.

About Gadar: Ek Prem Katha

The Anil Sharma-directed romantic-action drama original was set during the Partition of India and starring Ameesha Patel and created history at the box office when it was released in 2001. The film starred the late Amrish Puri in a pivotal role. It revolves around Tara Singh (portrayed by Sunny), a Sikh truck driver from Amritsar, who falls in love with Sakina (portrayed by Ameesha), a Muslim girl hailing from a political family in Lahore, Pakistan.

The re-release of Gadar came ahead of the sequel’s teaser release. Helmed by Anil Sharma Gadar 2 also stars Utkarsh Sharma in the lead roles. Utkarsh played the role of Sunny and Ameesha’s son in the first part.

Excited about the second part, Sunny earlier said, “Gadar – Ek Prem Katha has been an eminent part of my life, personally as well as professionally. Tara Singh from Gadar isn’t just a protagonist but went on to become a cult icon that defied all odds and crossed all boundaries for his Family and Love. Collaborating with the team after, 22 years was a creatively enriching experience.”
