Overview
Gadar 2 is an Indian Hindi-language romantic action drama film written and directed by Anil Sharma. It is a sequel to the 2001 film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which was one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Gadar 2 stars Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma in the lead roles. The film is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and tells the story of Tara Singh (Deol), a Sikh truck driver who must once again cross the border illegally to save his son Jeete (Sharma) from the wrath of Pak General Hamid Iqbal (Manish Wadhwa).

The film’s budget is estimated to be around ₹100-150 crore (US$12.5-18.75 million), making it one of the most expensive Hindi films ever made.
