Amit Gupta told Times Now, “I was standing in front of my house and was discussing Gadar 2 with kids. A man named Tausif was passing by and interrupted asking why am I talking about Muslims. I told him this has nothing to do with you. He then started abusing me and then grabbed me by the neck, and ripped off my clothes. Another man intervened and sorted things out. However, when I reached home, Tausif, accompanied by 10-12 individuals forcefully entered my house. My mother and younger brother were also present. The mob attacked us and broke things.”

Helmed by Anil Sharma, Gadar 2 is a sequel to Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which was released in theatres in 2001. Sunny Deol played the role of Tara, a truck driver, while Ameesha Patel played Sakina in the film that was set during the partition of India in 1947. Gadar 2 follows Tara Singh as he ventures across the border in a daring attempt to rescue his son, portrayed by Utkarsh Sharma, who has been captured in Pakistan.

The sequel has managed to create a record at the box office with huge collections. It became the second-best opener of 2023 after Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan.
