Sunny also shared several stills from the film, taking audiences back to the early 2000s when Gadar: Ek Prem Katha first released.

Directed by Anil Sharma, the romantic-action drama starred Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in the lead roles, alongside the late Amrish Puri. Set against the backdrop of the Partition, the film told the story of Tara Singh and Sakina, whose love story faces turmoil when Sakina’s father forces her to remain in Pakistan, separating her from her family.

Over the years, Gadar has remained one of the biggest blockbusters in Hindi cinema and continues to enjoy a strong fan following. The franchise returned to the big screen with Gadar 2, which was released theatrically on August 11, 2023. The sequel also received a positive response from audiences, further cementing the popularity of the franchise. (ANI)
