'Gadar 2' has become a huge hit in the history of Indian cinema. The sequel to the popular movie 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' from 2001 has been getting rave reviews from both viewers and critics.
Recently, we heard about fans in Rajasthan coming to watch the movie in tractors. Now, a fan in Ujjain did something even more special. He arranged a show of 'Gadar 2' just for the people of his village, that too for free. Dharmendra, the father of Sunny Deol, noticed this video on Twitter.
A while ago, Dharmendra posted the video on his own Twitter account. In which, a bunch of villagers were riding motorcycles and had a DJ with them. They were on their way to watch 'Gadar 2'. While sharing the video, Dharmendra wrote in Hindi which translates, "Seeing this adulation, the spirits get high."
According to reports, the fan, also named Dharmendra organised the special free screening to fulfil his late father Lakshminarayan's wish. He was a fan of Sunny Deol. In response to this gesture, the veteran actor reacted in Hindi, which translates as, "Dear Dharmendra, lots of love to you who give so much respect to his dear father's wishes. My dear brother, God rest the soul of your dear father."
Recently, Hema Malini also praised 'Gadar 2' while interacting with the paparazzi and said, "Bohot hi achha laga. Jo expected tha waise hi tha. Bohot hi interesting hai. Aisa lag raha tha ki 70s aur 80s ka uss zamane ke film ke zaisa ek daur hai. Anil Sharma Ji ne bohot beautiful direction kiya hai aur Sunny (Deol) is superb. Utkarsh ne bhi bohot sundar acting kiya hai. It's a nice message for India and Pakistan. (It was very interesting, as expected. I felt nostalgic. Anil Sharma ji has directed the film very nicely, Sunny was superb and Utkarsh too was amazing.)"
Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel reprised their roles as Tara Singh and Sakeena, respectively, in the action-packed sequel, with Utkarsh Sharma playing a grown-up version of their son Jeetey.
