Since its release on August 11, “Gadar 2” starring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Singh has become an immensely popular sequel to “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha” from 2001. It has led to Sunny Deol, reprising the iconic role of Tara Singh, promoting the upcoming India vs Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2023 in his trademark “Gadar” style for the official broadcaster Star Sports in India.
