00:00 We have blown around 500 bombs in this film.
00:02 - Really? - Really.
00:03 When we were shooting in Ahmednagar,
00:05 I have never seen anything like this in my life.
00:07 I got to know the power of Gaddar and Sunny sir that day.
00:10 After Genius, I was actually signed in some films.
00:15 But the lockdown came.
00:16 And as an upcoming actor, it was a very difficult time.
00:19 Like, do I have to start again? What do I have to do?
00:23 So, Gaddar 2, you can be seen relaunching as an actor.
00:27 No, no. I don't believe in relaunching.
00:29 Obviously, my launch will always be Genius.
00:32 Gaddar 3 will come only if we get a story like Gaddar 1 and Gaddar 2.
00:37 Hello, I am Rehan Hussain and you are watching Lehren.
00:41 Gaddar 2 is about to release.
00:43 The countdown has begun.
00:44 This film is going to release on Friday.
00:47 We have two lead star cast of this film with us right now.
00:51 Actor Utkarsh Sharma and Simrat Kaur.
00:53 - Welcome all of you. - Thank you. Namaste.
00:56 - Thank you very much. - First of all, we will talk about this film.
00:58 Because Gaddar 2 is coming.
01:00 The countdown has begun for the release.
01:02 Are you nervous or excited for the release of this film?
01:06 As each interview is going on,
01:08 each big journalist like you is telling us that Friday is the release.
01:16 So, the excitement is increasing.
01:18 There are butterflies too.
01:20 And there is a lot of eagerness too.
01:24 I feel the same euphoria that I felt in Gaddar 1 and Gaddar 2.
01:31 Simran, you tell us how excited are you?
01:33 I am very excited and also very emotional.
01:37 Because my debut movie is coming.
01:39 We wait for the board results.
01:42 - So, I am feeling that the day is coming. - There is nervousness and excitement.
01:48 - Both are mixed. - What will be the marks?
01:50 Sometimes, I feel like crying.
01:52 Because the release is happening.
01:54 I was shooting till now and the movie is also coming.
01:56 So, there are mixed emotions.
01:58 You have started with Telugu and you have also done a Punjabi album.
02:02 And this is your first Hindi film.
02:04 How was it to work in Hindi?
02:06 How different was your experience?
02:08 Acting experience is the same everywhere.
02:12 There is no difference in that.
02:14 Only the language difference is there.
02:16 When I worked in Telugu, I could not understand the language.
02:20 I could not understand what the other person was saying.
02:24 Like the director told me to speak in different ways.
02:28 But I had to take board exams every day.
02:31 Because I had to memorize so many dialogues.
02:34 And I used to forget everything when I had to speak.
02:37 Because when you forget the first word, you forget everything.
02:41 So, that was a big problem for me.
02:44 How did you feel working with Utkarsh?
02:47 Tell us.
02:49 We also want to hear.
02:51 When I saw him for the first time, he was sitting very calmly.
02:56 I thought he was laughing.
02:58 He did not even smile.
03:00 I was not selected yet.
03:02 So, I was waiting for the girl to be selected.
03:04 Then I will talk to her.
03:06 Then we did our first script reading in this room.
03:10 Then I felt that the boy talks and laughs.
03:15 And he is very helpful.
03:17 Otherwise, I see that people have a lot of competition.
03:21 Many people think that they will never share their talent with others.
03:27 His Hindi is very pure.
03:29 And he speaks Urdu words very well.
03:33 I had to do something for the movie.
03:35 I had to use these words.
03:37 So, he gave me a proper class.
03:39 He trained me on how to speak and how to do.
03:42 There was a comedy scene.
03:44 He told me to drink water and hug him.
03:47 And then he would do this.
03:49 And then he would do this.
03:51 So, he used to make you do this.
03:55 He used to tell me while walking.
03:58 Tell me what was that word?
04:00 What is it called in Urdu?
04:02 He taught me a lot.
04:05 People usually do not do this.
04:07 They want to do well.
04:09 But he did not have that quality.
04:12 And he taught me how to speak and how to pause.
04:16 What is your character like?
04:19 She is a very cute girl.
04:23 She is a very nice girl.
04:25 Her name is Muskaan.
04:27 I will not tell much about her.
04:30 Because the characters of Gadar,
04:34 Tara, Sakina, Jeete,
04:36 are very close to the Indian audience.
04:39 A new girl is coming in the film.
04:42 So, you feel hesitant to accept a new character.
04:46 If I tell you now,
04:48 people may not be able to connect and feel it.
04:51 I have only a few days left.
04:53 So, you can see it on the big screen.
04:55 You will be able to see it.
04:57 And the way you gave so much love to the characters of Gadar,
05:00 Tara, Sakina, Jeete,
05:02 now if you give that much love to Muskaan.
05:05 How did you get the offer for this film?
05:07 How did you get the first call?
05:09 Who introduced you to this film?
05:12 I got the audition from Mukesh Chhabra sir.
05:16 When he sent me the audition,
05:18 he did not tell me that it was for Gadar.
05:21 I made the audition and sent it back.
05:25 He told me that he has to go to Palampur tomorrow.
05:28 The audition was to be done there.
05:30 The audition was done here.
05:31 Now, the look test is going on there.
05:32 Because they were already shooting there.
05:34 Gadar's shooting was going on.
05:36 So, I went there.
05:38 Everyone was busy in their shoot.
05:40 So, no one had the proper time to take the audition.
05:43 But I got two auditions there.
05:45 One was very special.
05:47 Our hero took it.
05:49 Actually, there were 500-600 girls who got auditions.
05:54 I am very busy in my acting.
05:57 But that day,
05:59 there was an incident.
06:01 She has been sitting there for two days in Palampur.
06:03 We were not getting time.
06:06 We were shooting from morning to night.
06:08 She was not getting time to take the audition.
06:10 I think,
06:12 both my father and I were in pain.
06:16 My father said that it would be very unfair
06:18 if she left without giving the audition.
06:21 It would not look good.
06:22 So, he told me to take the audition.
06:26 I was very arrogant.
06:29 I was tired and in a mess.
06:32 But I agreed.
06:35 I went there.
06:37 I told him to keep aside the script
06:40 and we will improvise.
06:44 We did not have time.
06:46 We had a schedule for two-three weeks.
06:49 We wanted a groomed artist.
06:53 We did not have time for grooming.
06:56 When he improvised with me,
07:00 I thought I was a good actor.
07:03 But I was speechless.
07:05 I was stunned.
07:12 He has such natural talent.
07:15 We were very unfair.
07:18 We did not shoot him on a proper camera.
07:21 We shot him on an iPhone.
07:22 So, the chemistry between you two was on before the shoot.
07:25 Yes.
07:26 It was a coincidence.
07:28 It was a great scene.
07:30 We were testing each other while acting.
07:34 I would take a turn.
07:36 I would not do it normally.
07:39 She would be on toes.
07:41 She would give a turn.
07:43 I had to react.
07:45 The bonding on screen is very beautiful.
07:49 You plan and do something.
07:51 The magic of on the spot is different.
07:54 It is fun.
07:55 You started as an actor and a groomed artist.
07:59 You worked with Sunny Paji.
08:01 You are working again after 22 years.
08:04 What is the difference between Sunny Paji and now?
08:10 As an actor, he has the same intensity and power.
08:15 When he acts, you just watch.
08:19 He acts with emotional intensity.
08:25 I got a chance to observe him as an actor.
08:30 I was very young to understand all this.
08:33 I used to watch him as an actor.
08:36 He used to come to the set.
08:37 If he had an important scene tomorrow, he would come.
08:40 He would go around the set.
08:42 He would make a graph as an actor.
08:45 He would rehearse.
08:47 I had never heard or observed anything like this about him.
08:53 But when I was on set, I used to watch him like a lover.
08:58 I used to see his graph and his level of thinking.
09:02 It was very easy for me.
09:05 I had to make a balance with him.
09:13 He is a great artist. He makes your work easy.
09:18 Sometimes, a person looks different on screen.
09:21 Because he has to portray a role.
09:23 He changes according to that.
09:24 But when the film shooting is over, or the real life is over,
09:30 what is the difference between Sunny Paji and now?
09:33 There is a big difference.
09:35 Obviously, the screenplay is from his heart.
09:40 But off screen, he is a shy and introvert person.
09:44 He is very soft spoken.
09:48 We hear his scolding on screen.
09:51 He is very opposite to the screen.
09:55 He is a very humble person.
09:57 He is strong and powerful off screen and on screen.
10:02 But he always has a protective feeling.
10:07 He will always be there for you.
10:10 He will always protect you.
10:14 It's a natural feeling.
10:16 We saw in the trailer, the hand pump scene.
10:19 The suspense was there.
10:22 Will the suspense be there after the release?
10:25 No, it will be there after the release.
10:27 It will be there on 11th August.
10:29 It is there.
10:30 People will be more anxious.
10:32 What will happen this time?
10:34 What will Tara Singh do?
10:36 It will be there.
10:38 It's a very interesting sequence.
10:41 Share a story that you both have experienced differently.
10:47 You tell.
10:49 A different experience.
10:51 Like I tell you,
10:53 our action in the film,
10:56 like in Gadhar 1,
10:58 there were a lot of VFX.
11:00 In Gadhar 2, we did 85-90% real stunts.
11:03 Sunny sir did it.
11:04 I did it.
11:05 The villain did it.
11:07 For authenticity,
11:10 for the truth that is seen on the screen,
11:13 we have 4 real action masters.
11:16 T.Noo sir, Shyam Kaushal, Abbas Ali sir, Ravi Verma sir.
11:21 All 4 have done amazing sequences.
11:24 All 4 are masters of raw action.
11:28 Absolutely.
11:29 It's a major sequence.
11:32 You must have seen a portion of our tank in the trailer.
11:36 We have shot it for 20-25 days.
11:40 We got the actual tank in the summer.
11:44 We got a brilliant set up where we got so many tanks.
11:50 Are all the tanks real?
11:52 All are real.
11:54 They have been given the color that was available in those days.
11:57 In 1971, there were a lot of tank battles during the war.
12:02 Bomb blasts.
12:03 We have shot 500 bomb blasts in this film.
12:06 All are real.
12:07 In the VFX budget in films,
12:11 we have done a lot of real things.
12:16 The impact of that on the big screen is different.
12:20 In old films,
12:22 if there was a collision of two vehicles,
12:24 it would have been a different feeling of real.
12:27 Nowadays, it is lost in VFX.
12:31 Your eyes can't tell why it happened.
12:37 We have tried.
12:38 The tank sequence was amazing.
12:41 The actual bombs, tanks, uneven surfaces, no cables.
12:47 If there is a mistake, you will fall under the tank.
12:52 The actors on the set,
12:55 they have a lot of respect for the army.
12:58 The soldiers of the army,
13:02 who spend their lives in tanks and other equipment,
13:08 it is a difficult thing.
13:10 It is a small story that has changed our perspective.
13:14 I think it is a fun story of Gadar that I have experienced.
13:18 I have seen movies as an audience.
13:20 I have seen shootings as an audience.
13:22 When we were shooting in Ahmednagar,
13:25 I have never seen anything like this in my life.
13:27 I got to know the power of Gadar and Sunny sir.
13:30 We were shooting at 3-4 in the night.
13:33 There was a crowd of 10,000 people.
13:36 People from the villages came to know that Gadar is being shot here.
13:40 Sunny Deol is here.
13:42 There is a fair outside.
13:43 Popcorn is being distributed.
13:44 Swings are being set up.
13:46 Old women's hair is being sold.
13:49 Everything is happening outside.
13:51 People were coming to watch the shooting from far.
13:53 At 3-4 in the night,
13:55 jeeps were coming.
13:56 Jeeps were coming.
13:59 At 3-4 in the night,
14:00 a crowd of 10,000 people came to watch the shoot.
14:02 This was the stardom of the earlier artists.
14:05 Rajesh Khanna.
14:06 I have never seen this in so many years.
14:09 Sunny sir's stardom is different.
14:12 We will talk about Amresh Puri here.
14:14 You worked with him in this film when you were a kid.
14:17 Vivek Shauk.
14:19 We were in the character of Gadar in Ek Prem Katha.
14:22 How much have you missed?
14:24 Of course, Amresh is a legend.
14:27 He is not only a legend in our industry,
14:28 but a legend in international cinema.
14:30 Vivek Shauk's talent in comedy was amazing.
14:34 When you see him today,
14:37 you feel that he was very underestimated.
14:41 But no comedian like him has come back.
14:45 So, I obviously missed both the characters.
14:49 If they were there,
14:50 they would have definitely been a part of this film.
14:52 But this story of Gadar 2...
14:55 Will it be popular in Pakistan or in India?
15:00 It will be popular all over the world.
15:02 I mean, the base story will be...
15:05 No, the base story is of the Indo-Pak conflict in 1971.
15:09 The first one was during the partition.
15:11 And now it is the story of the pre-war and war.
15:17 And it could have been the story of these characters.
15:19 This incident could have happened in their lives.
15:22 So, in this film,
15:25 obviously, the film happens in both places.
15:28 In India and Pakistan.
15:29 Like it happened in Gadar 1.
15:31 So, there is a balance.
15:33 But this time, the challenges are double.
15:37 And emotions are double.
15:40 Sir, if we talk about you.
15:42 You played the character of Gadar in Ek Prem Katha.
15:46 And when you grew up,
15:47 you took acting training.
15:50 And then...
15:51 You came out as a genius in this film.
15:54 Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Salman sir praised you a lot.
15:58 And then you disappeared.
16:03 Were you learning something or working?
16:07 I keep learning in life.
16:09 I will keep learning after Gadar 2.
16:12 I was learning during Gadar 2.
16:13 After Genius, I was actually signed in some films.
16:19 But the lockdown came.
16:21 And during that time,
16:23 there was a lot of uncertainty.
16:25 In my mind, what will work in cinema?
16:28 And in the minds of other project makers,
16:31 what will work?
16:33 So, the scenario of many projects changed.
16:37 And as an upcoming actor,
16:38 it was a difficult time.
16:41 Should I start again?
16:43 What should I do?
16:44 I was having a lot of questions.
16:47 But I was thankful that
16:51 I didn't make a film to make a film.
16:54 Because we were not planning Gadar 2.
16:57 Shaktimaan ji comes on Navratri.
17:00 He tells that he has a story of Gadar 2.
17:02 It took him 20-22 years to find another story.
17:05 And the story was so good that
17:07 I had to withdraw from other projects.
17:11 And then it was like,
17:14 if this project has to be done,
17:16 it will take 2-3 years.
17:20 Because, first of all,
17:21 the second lockdown was going on.
17:23 Projects were going on.
17:24 It took a year and a half to script the project.
17:27 And I was involved in that project.
17:31 And the shooting was going on for a year and a half.
17:37 So, it took 2-3 years to complete the project.
17:41 So, you can see the relaunching of Gadar 2.
17:45 No, I don't believe in relaunching.
17:48 Launch will always be my genius.
17:51 But you can consider it like my second film.
17:55 And the type of films I believe in,
17:59 the larger than life cinema,
18:02 which is the pride of India,
18:04 so, being a part of that cinema is a very fortunate thing for me.
18:10 And, I think,
18:16 Kachua Ki Chaal is better than Khargosh Ki Chaal.
18:21 Why is that? Because you won't be satisfied with any work.
18:25 Because, sir, I enjoy being an artist.
18:31 And, when you are an actor on stage,
18:34 you know whether you did a good job or not.
18:37 When you give a shot in front of the screen,
18:39 you know whether it was good or not.
18:41 You clap for it or whatever,
18:43 but you take another shot.
18:46 So, for the satisfaction of being an artist,
18:50 you can't lie to yourself.
18:52 So, I feel, this film touched my heart.
18:58 And I felt that I have to do this film.
19:00 Did you have an accident while shooting Salman Khan's film Veer?
19:05 Yes, I was an assistant.
19:07 Yes, I was an assistant.
19:09 I have had many coincidences in my life.
19:12 So, it happened that you got injured while clapping.
19:16 Oh, you remember.
19:18 What happened was that Salman sir was on Veer's set.
19:23 He was in his character.
19:26 I was 14-15 years old.
19:29 And I was learning how to clap.
19:32 So, the cameraman told me to take it closer.
19:35 It was a tele shot.
19:36 So, I had to clap very close.
19:38 So, I took the clap and said, "Sir, okay, okay, sir, okay."
19:41 And I clapped so hard that his nose got hit.
19:44 Whose?
19:45 Salman sir's.
19:47 Oh, my God!
19:49 Because he was in his character and he was not able to see.
19:52 His eyes were down.
19:54 So, Salman sir was like this.
19:57 He was not angry.
20:01 I said, "Sir, I am very sorry. Sorry, this happened."
20:04 His makeup man gave me a look.
20:07 But it was a learning experience.
20:11 Salman sir is a very sweet person.
20:14 And I was often made a scapegoat when he had to get me out of the van.
20:19 Because I was small, he used to listen to me.
20:24 So, sometimes I used to go to his bodyguards.
20:27 He inspired you a lot.
20:29 He gave you a lot of courage.
20:30 Because he is a very different person off set.
20:36 And he is very different on set and on camera.
20:39 So, I used to see the changeover in him.
20:41 And my eyes used to get down when I saw him.
20:46 It was a very unique experience to see him.
20:50 And I thought I should do something like this.
20:52 He is not like how he looks off set.
20:57 He is like this on camera.
20:59 He is saying his heart's thoughts in front of the camera.
21:02 You were a teenager at that time.
21:04 So, there are many things in the heart that you have to say.
21:10 So, art helps you in that.
21:12 Whether it is painting, singing or acting.
21:15 I was more interested in acting at that time.
21:19 You worked with Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Genius.
21:22 He is a very good artist.
21:24 He is very popular on T.T.
21:26 How was the experience of working with him?
21:28 Because the role was in the comparison between both of them.
21:33 He is a genius actor in real life.
21:36 And I would say that great artists are very humble in their personality.
21:44 He has done so many stages and stage dramas all over the world.
21:49 And he has made his career graph with a lot of hard work.
21:53 But he always wants the best from other actors.
21:59 He always came in his character.
22:03 And he always supports the performance that I want to perform.
22:07 I have learnt a lot from him.
22:10 His pauses, his style of dialogue delivery is very unique.
22:18 And he has a wonder in his eyes.
22:23 So, he is a great artist.
22:26 And I have learnt a lot from him.
22:29 Let's come back to the film Agadhar 2.
22:31 Music plays a very important role in making a film hit.
22:34 Two songs of this film have been recreated.
22:37 Which are Gadhar Ek Prem Katha Mein The,
22:39 Main Nikla Gaddi Leke,
22:40 Aur Udhja Kaale Kaamare.
22:41 Apart from this, the song Khairiyat which was released,
22:44 Fans and viewers are liking it a lot.
22:47 All three songs are very popular.
22:49 So, how is the film in terms of music?
22:52 And how are the other songs?
22:54 Gadhar 2's jukebox has been released.
22:56 All the songs have been released on YouTube.
22:59 So, you can listen to it on YouTube.
23:01 And it will take some time for the video.
23:04 But, as far as the songs are concerned,
23:08 The songs were the soul of Gadhar 1.
23:10 And we knew how much the public was emotional about the songs of Gadhar 2.
23:15 So, we don't want to tease those songs.
23:18 Obviously, because of today's technology,
23:21 They were recorded in stereo.
23:23 Today, for the 5.1, 7.1 theaters,
23:26 We didn't have the choice to recreate and reprise those songs.
23:30 So, that level of music director,
23:33 That level of lyric writer, Anand Bakshi,
23:36 Who could recreate that song with the same ease and love,
23:40 That was very important.
23:41 And we got that in Mithun Sir.
23:43 He said that it is an honor for him to create a song of Uttamji.
23:48 And he recreated the song with the same love.
23:50 People said that songs are recreated in this way.
23:54 Because he just did the instrumentation of today.
23:57 He uplifted it a little.
23:59 He gave the sound of today.
24:00 But the song is the same.
24:01 He did the same for Main Nikla Gadhi Lekha.
24:04 And singing khairiyat is a prayer for the family.
24:09 So, in today's songs, you can't hear all this.
24:13 These emotions that bind the family.
24:16 And every parent and child prays that their parents live in peace.
24:21 And every parent and child prays that their parents live in peace.
24:24 So, those songs connected with people.
24:27 And two more songs, Dil Jhoom Jhoom and Chal Tere Ishq,
24:32 Those two are also very unique and exceptional songs.
24:37 Dil Jhoom was sung by Arjeet Singh.
24:39 And Chal Tere Ishq was sung by Neeti Mohan.
24:43 So, one of them is a Qawwali.
24:45 And the other is a romantic track.
24:47 I have two more questions.
24:49 You worked under your father's direction.
24:52 You also worked in Telugu and Tamil.
24:56 How much difference did you find in learning?
25:00 How different was Anish Sharma's direction?
25:03 The difference was that the director couldn't speak to me well because of the language.
25:11 He couldn't explain things to me and I couldn't understand.
25:14 So, there was a weird situation.
25:19 We used to talk in gestures so that he and I could understand.
25:23 But here, obviously, I have my own language.
25:26 And the fun part with Anil sir was that he gives you a lot of freedom as an actor.
25:32 Earlier, he used to tell me that this is my scene.
25:35 I should do it in my own way.
25:37 I should do it the way I feel like.
25:39 If I don't like it, I will tell you some changes.
25:43 But you shouldn't do what I say.
25:46 Because you know your character.
25:48 You have thought it through.
25:51 I think that was the best thing as an actor.
25:54 Because you can use your creativity.
25:56 Not just the director's.
25:58 And it's a lot of fun.
26:01 He doesn't get angry at all.
26:02 My last question is that when a film is a success,
26:06 as Amisha Patel has said,
26:08 you have to think about when Gadhar 3 will be released.
26:13 What is your intention?
26:15 Gadhar 3 will be released when we get a story like Gadhar 1 and Gadhar 2.
26:21 It took 20-22 years to make the story of Gadhar 2.
26:25 The audience should be connected to Gadhar 2.
26:28 The way the buzz has been created,
26:30 all the wires are connecting.
26:34 We are moving towards a blockbuster.
26:36 We will try to create a story of Gadhar 3 with the same authenticity.
26:41 And when God wants to give, we will.
26:45 Thank you both for talking to us.
26:48 We hope this film is a blockbuster like Gadhar 1.
26:52 Namaskar.
26:54 (Music)
26:58 you
