Ameesha Patel played a pivotal role in Gadar 2. The actres reprised her role as Sakeena in the Anil Sharma directorial which became one of the highest-grossing Bollywood movies of all time. Before the release of the movie, Patel made several shocking revelations about the filmmaker and the team. Her tiff with the director became one of the talking points about the action flick. Months after the release of the movie, the actress has once again shared her ordeals of starring in the film.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ameesha Patel shared shocking details from the details of Gadar 2. The actress shared that she had several ‘creative discomforts’. She also shared that Sunny Deol and she almost directed the film themselves. She shared, “There was a lot of creative discomfort that Sunny and I both had and the journey was not an easy one. We both did a lot of editing, re-shooting… we both had a lot of creative discussions and arguments with our director to make Gadar brand ultimately as we see on the big screen. Sunny and me were almost like semi-ghost directors on that.”
She added, “The film was taken to another direction which we had to draw back because Gadar the brand was always Sakeena and Tara.” The actress also shared that if Gadar 3 is offered to her she will have multiple conditions to star in the movie. She noted that the only way she would star in the movie is if her character gets enough screen time.
In the same conversation, Ameesha credited her business partner Kunal Goomer for saving the film. She shared, “Gadar 2 was actually going to be gutter. If Kunal Goomer had not stepped in, alerted even Sunny…that these things have gone wrong so when you go for the action schedule, please correct certain things. Sunny was alerted, and started correcting the action, the edits.”
She added that the directed Anil Sharma was trying to take the film to another director. She added, “There were a lot of disputes because there was another hidden agenda that was there with Mr Anil Sharma and he was deviating from making Gadar.” Previously, the actress accused the production house and Anil Sharma of mismanagement of Gadar 2's sets.
