Gadar 2 is one of the most awaited love stories which the fans are eagerly waiting for. The eternal love story of Tara Singh and Sakina is back on the silver screen after 22 years. ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’, which released in 2001, emerged as a winner at the ticket window. The film introduced Sunny Deol as Tara Singh in such a way that people still remember his dialogues. Whereas Ameesha Patel played the role of Sakina. But did you know that none of them was the first choice of the makers for Gadar?

According to media reports, Govinda was approached for the role of Tara Singh, not Sunny. But when Govinda’s film ‘Maharaja’ bombed at the box office, the makers changed their mind. On the other hand, reports claim that Kajol The film was in talks for the lead actress role, but she declined due to the fact that she was not a top actress at that time.

In the first part, Amrish Puri was seen in the role of Villain, who played the role of Sakina’s father. Earlier there was news that Rohit Chowdhary can be seen in the role of villain in the film. But if reports are to be believed, Manish Wadhwa will be seen in the role of Villain in place of Rohit Chowdhary in the sequel of Gadar.
