Utkarsh Sharma and Simrat Kaur open up about Sunny Deol's handpump scene
The young actor, who played the son of Tara Singh and Sakeena (iconic characters played by Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel) in Gadar 2, extensively spoke about the film and its making, especially the iconic handpump scene. "For that scene, actually it was difficult to shoot because everyone on set has a mobile. When we were making Gadar in 2001, things were different. Now, even the extra artists who come to the sets have a mobile. When they hear about Gadar 2, they want to shoot something on set and upload it," remarked Utkarsh Sharma. 
"So we purposely avoided discussing the 'handpump' scene on sets. We kept it a secret so that there is excitement and hype to it. The scene was shot secretly, no other actor was on set. We knew the scene obviously, and Sunny Deol shot for the scene early morning. Even we (Utkarsh and Simran) were not on the set," he added. "When they were planning the shoot a day earlier in the location in Lucknow, people saw the property - the handpump, and immediately there was a large crowd. Then we had to change the location, as it was impossible to shoot there," recalled the young actor.
