Anil Sharma바카라s latest directorial 바카라Gadar 2바카라 is actually ruling the box office, and the filmmaker has now mentioned how several fans have called him up to urge him to "send" Gadar 2 to the Oscars.
Speaking to Indian Express, Sharma said that even 바카라Gadar Ek Prem Katha바카라 deserved to go to the Academy Awards.
For the unversed, 바카라Gadar 2바카라 starring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma in lead roles, released last month. While it opened to mixed reviews, the film has been breaking box office records ever since. It is being termed as the success of films that do not usually get awards.
바카라People are calling me repeatedly to send the film to the Oscars. Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001) didn바카라t go, so I don바카라t know how Gadar 2 will go, but we are at it. But Gadar 2 should go; the film deserves it. Gadar also deserved it. Gadar was based on the 1947 partition, and we told the story in a very different way. It was a new and original story, and Gadar 2 is also a new and original story," Anil told the daily. That year, Aamir Khan's Lagaan was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards,바카라 Sharma said.
Meanwhile, recalling Dharmendra's statement that he felt he wasn't part of the industry, the filmmaker added that he felt the same as he wondered why the people who sat on the award panels think they are not deserving for the awards.
바카라We have touched people바카라s hearts with Gadar 2. I won바카라t lie, but even we want awards. But I didn't expect it because I knew that I wouldn바카라t get it. I hear there is lots of lobbying and PR involved in these things, and I am not a political person. I have never lobbied for awards,바카라 he said.
Directed by Sharma, 바카라Gadar 2바카라 is a sequel to his 2001 film which also featured Sunny, Ameesha, and Utkarsh. The new film has the backdrop of the political tensions ahead of the Indo-Pak war in 1971. The first film, 바카라Gadar Ek Prem Katha바카라, on other hand, was the love story of a young Sikh man who falls in love with a Pakistani girl right during the Indo-Pak partition.
