Gadar 2 director feels that the Sunny Deol-starrer deserves to go to the Oscars

Gadar 2
Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel`s `Gadar 2` broke several records at the box office when it released in theatres on August 11. The film directed by Anil Sharma is a sequel to the 2001 blockbuster film `Gadar: Ek Prem Katha`. The cast and the director of the film reunited for the sequel after all these years and also recreated the box office magic.
Director Anil Sharma said that while he is happy with the love and praise showered on the film, he would be happier to get the prestigious Oscars. Speaking to Indianexpress.com in a new interview, the director said, "People are calling me repeatedly to send the film to the Oscars. Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001) didn’t go, so I don’t know how Gadar 2 will go, but we are at it. But Gadar 2 should go; the film deserves it. Gadar also deserved it. Gadar was based on the 1947 partition, and we told the story in a very different way. It was a new and original story, and Gadar 2 is also a new and original story."
