Gadar 2 actress Ameesha Patel says Sunny Deol’s character Tara Singh accepted Islam for his love: Films should promote unity, peace and harmony
Controversial film The Kerala Story has been making a lot of noise in the industry with its content and intent. Directed by Sudipto Sen, the movie which stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonai Balani and Siddhi Idnani, tells the story of young women who had escaped religious conversion in Kerala. Amid this, Ameesha Patel talked about her upcoming film Gadar 2 and shared her two cents on religious conversion.
During a recent media interaction, Ameesha, who is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Gadar 2 with Sunny Deol, said that films should unite different sections of the society and they should promote unity, peace and harmony.
She then went on to say that her film Gadar shows no hatred but spreads only love. She said that the film shows all religions, castes, and creeds. She then cited an example from the film saying that in Gadar, a Muslim woman marries a Hindu man and she still didn’t forget her religion. Not just that, but even Sunny Deol’s character Tara Singh accepted Islam for his love.
Meanwhile, Gadar 2, directed by Anil Sharma, is the continuation of the first part but the story takes a 20-year leap. The conflict of Gadar 2 is reportedly said to unfold around the 1971 India-Pakistan War.
The Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer created an insurmountable stir in Bollywood when it released in 2001 and clashed against Aamir Khan’s Oscar nominated Lagaan. In the sequel, Sunny and Ameesha will be reprising their roles of Tara Singh and Sakeena along with Utkarsh Sharma, who plays their son in the film.
