Anil Sharma talks about Gadar 2's budget

In an interview with News18 India, the filmmaker talked about the difficulties he faced in getting Gadar 2 made. He said that everyone thought that he didn't make movies and Sunny Deol's movies were also not working. Add to that, the involvement of newcomer Utkarsh Sharma. But he believed in it and he realized that Gadar is a brand. He said, "Perhaps, that is why we did not get a lot of budget as well. We have made this film in the budget of just Rs 60 crore when people are talking about Rs 600 crore films.”

Sharma seems to be hinting at Om Raut's Adipurush which was made on a whopping budget of around 600 crores. However, unlike Gadar 2, it was a major critical and commercial failure.

Gadar 2 has grossed the 400 crore mark at the Indian box office. Sunny took to social media to thank all his fans for this amazing feat. In a video seemingly taken from an airplane, Sunny sent his message to everyone. He said, “Hello everyone, first and foremost aap sabka bahut bahut dhanyavad. Aap logo ko Gadar 2 pasand aayi.. maine kabhi socha bhi nahi tha. (Thank you so much everyone, you all liked Gadar 2. I never thought this would happen. We have crossed Rs 400 crore and will go ahead.)"
