Gadar 2, the sequel to the 2001 superhit movie Gadar, is releasing in theatres in August and followers are ready for any and all updates concerning the movie. The movie has Sunny Deol returning as Tara Singh and Ameesha Patel as Sakeena. Now, after recreating the Udd Jaa Kaale Kawa tune from the primary film for Gadar 2, director Anil Sharma has shared that one other iconic tune will probably be making a reappearance within the sequel.In an interaction with Bollywood Hungama, the filmmaker stated that Main Nikla Gaddi Leke will probably be recreated in Gadar 2. He was quoted as saying, “Aksar folk song liye jaate hain filmon mein, lekin yeh pehla gaana hai jispe folk song bane hain. Aaj sab jagah Rajasthan mein yeh gaana bajaya jaata hai. [It is common for folk songs to be recreated for films but in this case, a film song is being used as a folk song in many parts of the country. In Rajasthan, you can hear the song in every nook and corner]. It’s a big achievement of Uttam Singh [composer]  and Anand Bakshi [lyricist].”

He stated that composer Mithoon has created one other model for the sequel and “sound and music used in it is quite modern and young”. Anil Sharma stated, “Unke saath jab hum Tara, Sakeena, aur iss gaane ko dekhte hai toh aisa ek feel aata hai ki hum yaadon ki jhoole mein jhool rahe hai, anand hi hilorein le rahein hain. [When you see the song along with the chemistry of Tara and Sakeena, you will take a walk down the memory lane].”

 Dedicating the tune to the general public, he stated, “Yeh gaana mera nahi hai, yeh public ka gaana hai, aur public isse enjoy kar rahi hai  [This is not my song. This is public’s song and they are only enjoying it].”

Meanwhile, the teaser of the film shows that the sequel is set in 1971. The clip begins with a lady’s voiceover. The dialogue says: “Damaad hai woh Pakistan ka. Use naariyal do, teeka lagao. Warna iss baar woh dahej mein Lahore le jaaega [He’s the son-in-law of Pakistan. Give him a grand welcome. Anoint him.  Or this time he will hijack Lahore].” The display screen then cuts to Tara Singh getting off a bus in Lahore to face a crowd chanting anti-India slogans. 

For the unversed, the primary movie was set in opposition to the backdrop of the India-Pakistan partition. 

In addition to Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, Gadar 2 may even star Utkarsh Sharma, Manish Wadhwa, Gaurav Chopra, Luv Sinha, and Simrat Kaur. It is scheduled to launch in theatres on August 11.
