Gadar 2 director Anil Sharma
After Gadar 2 was a massive success, several promotional events and interviews are being conducted with the cast and the crew. Ameesha Patel, the lead actress beside Sunny Deol was absent at all the promotional events due to the recent news about her court case in Ranchi. However, that didn’t stop the press from asking the Gadar team questions about her whereabouts and her performance in the film. Anil Sharma, director for both the movies in the Gadar franchise and also father to the actor Utkarsh Sharma who played Tara Singh’s son in the movie, revealed what he found ‘less’ in Ameesha Patel’s acting skills.
In an interview, he said, “Chaand jaisa chehra chahiye tha. Acting mein thodi weak thi. Maine Nitin Keni (producer) sahab se kaha, ‘suit to mujhe ye kar rahi hai lekin ek dusri ladki hai wo better actor hai.’ Magar yeh personality-wise, ameer ghar ki ladki hai to wo iske andar wo baat hai, wo attitude hai. (I wanted ac actress with a face like the moon. She was weak at acting. I told Nitin Keni that another girl we’d shortlisted was a better actor. Ameesha had the personality of someone who hails from a rich family, and she has an attitude).”
He then added that he told Ameesha that he would have to train her for at least 6 months, and she agreed. She would come for training with Anil Sharma for 4-5 hours and he helped ingrain Sakeena’s personality in her.
“Woh bade ghar ki bitiya hai, unke mizaaj thode bade hain, magar dil ki buri nahi hain, dil ki achi hain. Bade ghar ki beti jo hoti hai kabhi kabhi tunakmizaaji aa jaati hai. Hum log chote ghar ke log hain. Hum log pyaar mohabbat se rehte hain. Woh bhi rehti hain, but thoda sa attitude, ek ada hai unme jo kabhi kabhi tedhi-medhi ho jaati hai, lekin insaan achi hain (She hails from a big family, and she carries that attitude around with her. I’m a simple person, I believe in living with love. She does, too, but sometimes her attitude gets in the way. But she is a kind person otherwise),” said the Gadar 2 director.
