After the storm comes calm — that seems to be the case for filmmaker Anil Sharma and actress Ameesha Patel. Once caught in a public fallout during Gadar 2’s release, the director–actor duo have now mended fences.

With Gadar 3 already in the works, both seem ready to move forward, leaving past differences behind.

Ameesha’s creative differences

Ameesha had admitted to having creative differences during a chat on X and said she would only consider Gadar 3 if the script truly excites her, as much as Gadar: Ek Prem Katha did. On Maniesh Paul’s podcast, she revealed that the climax of Gadar 3 had been filmed without her but chose to move past it. She also stressed the need for proper paperwork and contracts before signing future films.

He said that with time, issues have been resolved and everything between them is fine.When asked about Ameesha's involvement in Gadar 3, he said that Tara and Sakeena are an essential part of the franchise but added that details of her character would be discussed closer to the film’s release.

Script of Gadar 3 is ready

The director also confirmed that the script for Gadar 3 is ready. He said the team had already committed to making the sequel in Gadar 2’s closing scene, where Utkarsh Sharma’s character Jeete is shown as worthy of joining the army, ending with the message: “to be continued.”

Sharma also shared that while Gadar 3 will take some time, it won’t be another decades-long wait. The team aims to begin shooting within the next two years. With the script already in place, the film will primarily focus on the stories of Tara and Jeete.Released 22 years after Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, Gadar 2 emerged as the fourth highest-grossing Indian film of 2023, following Jawan, Pathaan, and Animal.
