Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that Zee Studios has given the green signal for Gadar 3. According to sources close to the development, the first round of paperwork has been done between Zee Studios, Anil Sharma, and Sunny Deol.
“Gadar 2 ended with a promise of Gadar 3 and that wasn’t an announcement made for the sake of grabbing eyeballs. Ever since the release of the film, Anil Sharma and his team of writers have been brainstorming ideas for the third part of Gadar and they have finally locked the basic idea for the threequel. Much like the world of the franchise, this one too will be set against the backdrop of Indo-Pak conflict, however, the stakes this time will be higher than ever before,” revealed a source close to the development.

The filmmaker answered the call from the sets of Journey starring Utkarsh Sharma and Nana Patekar and confirmed the development saying, “Yes, Tara Singh will be back as we have locked the basic idea of Gadar 3.

He has finally zeroed down on his look for the film and has done several reading sessions with the ensemble cast. It’s going to be a marathon schedule for Sitaare Zameen Par and the actor has allotted 70 to 80 working days on the film. With a lot of time invested in pre-production, this would be among the fastest films that Aamir would deliver to the audience,” revealed a source close to the development.
“Lahore: 1947 is a partition drama by Rajkumar Santoshi with Sunny Deol in the lead. The film goes on floors on February 12, 2024. The set work has already begun in Mumbai to recreate the era gone by. Multiple big sets to recreate India around the partition era are being put up,” the source added.

He added, "We are very happy with the love that we have gotten for that film (Shershaah) even though love story was a very short part of that film. It was hardly like 12 minutes or 15 minutes in the film but I think the real life love story of Captain Vikram Batra and Dimple also resonates through really well."
He further added, "We would love to do a full-fledged love story. It's just up to us, finding the right content, and the right script." Then, Sidharth asked the audience if they would like to see Kiara and him in another love story, to which everyone started cheering.
