The Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer became one of the few Hindi blockbusters of 2023
Everyone deserves the joy of watching a movie and losing themselves in the make-believe world. Driven by this thought, the makers of Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2: The Katha Continues (2023) are re-releasing it, with Indian Sign Language (ISL). On August 4, the action drama will be released, with ISL interpretation, in select theatres across the country, thus ensuring that viewers with hearing impairment can enjoy the Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma-starrer.
In August 2023, all of us witnessed as Anil Sharma’s directorial venture, a sequel to Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001), took the box office by storm. What did it tell us? That Deol had more fans than he thought. It was reiterated in February this year when India Signing Hands (ISH News), a Mumbai-based not-for-profit organisation that works towards increasing accessibility for the deaf community, reached out to the makers. They had a simple request—most of their wards were Deol fans and eager to watch the movie. Zee Studios and PVR-Inox Pictures promptly teamed up with the NGO, and had ISL experts dub the movie over two months.
