‘Gadar 2’ is breaking all possible box office records and will continue to do so in the following days. It emerged as the second fastest film to enter 100 crore club. To celebrate the success of the film, the makers recently held a press conference where director Anil Sharma revealed that ‘Gadar 2’ has a Mahabharat connection.
Anil Sharma narrated, “Since many years, we were flooded with the demand for ‘Gadar 2’.But we were not getting the right story. I used to tell Shakti ji (writerShaktimaan), ‘Koi idea de do’. Then during Navratri, Shakti ji came to my house and narrated an idea for Gadar 2. Unhone kaha, ‘Prasad main deta hoon aapko!’ I heard the story and the emotion worked for me big time. Gadar’s first part was actually Ramayan. Ram Sita ko Lanka se lene jaate hai. Then, I remarked, ‘Hamari film Ramayan hai. Flop nahin ho sakti'”.
Revealing the Mahabharat connection in the sequel, the director added, “I heard the second part and mentioned, ‘Agar Abhimanyu chakravyuh mein fasa tha aur uss waqt Arjun pahuch jaata, toh Mahabharat toh wahin khatam ho jaata. Isse bada emotion toh sansaar mein nahin hai. This story can’t fail.” He also highlighted that everyone from Shariq Patel to Puneet Goenka to Sunny Deol, everyone had tears in their eyes after hearing the script.
