Sunny Deol Finishes Shooting For Gadar 2; Know Where It Was Filmed

In 2001, director Anil Sharma made a film on the familiar subject of the India-Pakistan conflict but added a cross-border love story to the narrative. The result was a blockbuster hit, which has over the years attained a cult classic status. If you have not guessed yet, we are talking about the Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. The film was hugely successful when it was released and emerged as the top-grosser of the year, along with making many box office records. Now, after more than two decades, the film is finally getting a sequel, titled Gadar 2.
