Prior to the anticipated release of Gadar 2, Ameesha Patel, who is set to reprise her role as Sakina, recently levied allegations against the film's producer and director, Anil Sharma. She accused Anil Sharma Productions of gross mismanagement on set and claimed that both the cast and crew were neglected and left unpaid. Anil Sharma, who helmed and produced both installments of Gadar, has come forward to respond to Ameesha's accusations against him and his production team. In an exclusive interview with a publication, the director-producer of Gadar 2 addressed Ameesha's claims head-on. He said,"I have no clue why she said all of this. All I would like to say is that this is all false, none of it is true."
With unwavering resolve, Anil Sharma refuted the allegations and surprisingly extended gratitude to the actress for inadvertently elevating his production house's prominence. He expressed, "What can be bigger than this? I thank her for making our new production house famous. "The producer went on to express his excitement about the heightened attention his production house had garnered in recent days.
