Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, is generating excitement among fans. The trailer of Gadar 2 was earlier expected to release on July 27. However, it is now slated to release on Wednesday, July 26.

And now, it is being reported that Ameesha Patel might skip the trailer launch. According to sources, the actress wants to avoid embarrassing questions related to certain controversial videos of Simrat Kaur that were leaked on YouTube. 

Ameesha feels she should lend her support to another girl and avoid further controversial questions. Rumours are rife that the producers have included only one shot of Simrat in the trailer due to the ongoing controversies surrounding her.

Gadar 2, announced in October 2021, is a remake of the 2001 film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Set in post-partition India, the movie portrayed the love story of Sakina, a Muslim girl and Tara Singh, an Indian Sikh boy. 

In the first instalment, Tara crossed the border to bring back his wife. Directed by Anil Sharma, who also helmed the original film, Gadar 2 will see his son Utkarsh reprise his role as Tara and Sakina’s young son Jeete.
