Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel reprise Tara Singh and Sakeena in "Gadar 2," releasing August 11. Utkarsh Sharma returns as Charanjeet; Simrat Kaur debuts as Muskaan. Utkarsh and Simrat share exclusive insights with BollywoodLife on "Gadar 2."

Utkarsh fondly recalled a dangerous stunt from "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha," involving Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and himself. 

 

He shared, "Many memories from 'Gadar.' Fortunate that some locations repeated in 'Gadar 2,' creating a déjà vu. Let me share a tale. We were shooting in Rajasthan for a train sequence. We had to jump off a moving train. I was on Sunny sir's shoulder, Ameesha ji on one side, and Vivek on the other."In those days, VFX didn't exist, and we had to perform actual stunts. Sunny sir is the action king, he does his stunts. He climbed onto the train and it started moving. The speed kept increasing, and I held onto him tightly. I must have been choking him because I was definitely scared. But Sunny sir took it in his stride and kept jumping. I remember my father's reaction. After the shot, he realized that he had made his child do that," Utkarsh recounted.



Utkarsh acknowledged the risk, recognizing that any mishap could have led him onto the tracks. Fortunately, Sunny Deol executed the shot flawlessly, ensuring Utkarsh's safety on his back. Utkarsh hailed Sunny Deol as a genuine action hero and elaborated on his rapport with Ameesha Patel and Sunny Deol. He attested that Sunny Deol remains unchanged, just as he was before. Utkarsh disclosed that Sunny Deol's shy demeanor still persists.
