"Gadar 2," featuring Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel, is set to release this week. Intriguingly, the film has captured the attention of the majority audience due to substantial advance bookings across various global locations.
Remarkably, this high level of anticipation surrounds a production crafted on a budget of less than Rs 100 crore.
Anil Sharma, the director, has refuted claims that the film's budget is close to Rs 100 crore, asserting that such estimations are grossly exaggerated.
He revealed that the actual figure is considerably lower. Sharma attributed this achievement to the support provided by the Indian Army and the Uttar Pradesh government, which helped him maintain cost efficiency.
Furthermore, the director highlighted that Sunny Deol significantly compromised on his remuneration. This stands in contrast to contemporary trends, where major stars demand remunerations reaching up to Rs 100 to Rs 150 crore.
In essence, the director strongly implied that "Gadar 2" has garnered substantial response through its advance bookings. This trend is expected to position the film within a highly profitable realm, thanks to its economical production budget and the lead actor's modest salary.
This film serves as the sequel to the 2001 blockbuster, which remarkably outperformed the Oscar-nominated movie "Lagaan" at the box office. "Gadar 2" is set to clash with "OMG-2," starring Akshay Kumar.
