Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel starrer Gadar: Ek Prem Katha is one of the best cross-border love stories made in Bollywood. It was one of the highest-grossing films of 2001 and had many scenes that are still remembered by moviegoers.
According to a report in Mid-day, after two decades, director Anil Sharma is planning a sequel to the film. A source told the tabloid, “The makers of Gadar have figured out the plot points and are working on a script. While Sunny and Ameesha Patel will be a part of the story, the director’s son Utkarsh, who essayed the role of their son Jeeta in the original, will play a pivotal part. The young actor had forayed into Bollywood in 2018 with Genius.”
While talking about it, the filmmaker told the tabloid, “Talks about a sequel are on, but I will officially confirm at the right time. At the moment, things are at a nascent stage.”
Well, currently, Anil Sharma is busy with the pre-production of Apne 2 which stars Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Karan Deol. The film will reportedly start rolling in June this year. Apne 2 was supposed to release on Diwali 2021, but it is said that the film has been postponed to 2022.

Man pleads guilty to crossbow murders of BBC presenter’s family
A 26-YEAR-OLD man on Wednesday pleaded guilty to murdering two daughters of a BBC sports commentator and stabbing to death their mother in a crossbow attack.
Kyle Clifford had previously denied killing Carol Hunt, 61, the wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters, Louise Hunt, 25, and Hannah Hunt, 28.
However, appearing via video link at Cambridge Crown Court in eastern England, Clifford changed his pleas.
The court heard that Clifford tied up Louise Hunt, his former partner, binding her arms and ankles with duct tape before shooting her in the chest with a crossbow at the family home last July.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, one count of false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons. However, Clifford denied raping Louise.
The murders took place at the family home in the commuter town of Bushey, near Watford, northwest of London.
Clifford was arrested in July following a manhunt after the bodies of the three women were discovered.
