In an exclusive conversation with Lehren Retro, Anil Sharma divulges details about the film's budget, highlighting its judiciousness. He shares that earnest efforts were made to manage the fees of the stars involved. Addressing Sunny Deol's remuneration, he confirms the actor's substantial compromise in this regard. Rather than channeling resources into higher fees, the creative team opted to allocate more resources toward enhancing the production quality of the film. Talking about Sunny Deol's fees, Anil Sharma was quoted saying, "That is just one person, we managed that. And, to tell you the truth, even he reduced his fees a lot. These days, the actors' and directors' fees are too high, shooting the budget of films to ₹500-600 crore. Out of those, ₹150 or ₹200 crore is the hero's share. What we thought was, to put the money in production."
The much-anticipated ‘Gadar 2’ is scheduled for release on August 11, 2023. This release date sets the stage for a face-off with ‘OMG 2’, starring Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi. The competitive atmosphere between these two films is palpable, as both have generated significant buzz. The predecessor, ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’, made a monumental impact at the box office, emerging as one of the highest-grossing films of its time and setting a record for ticket sales. As the sequel, ‘Gadar 2’, approaches, the question lingers whether it will rise to the expectations of its ardent fans. Similarly, the initial installment of ‘OMG’, featuring Paresh Rawal, resonated with audiences by delving into controversial themes. The sequel, ‘OMG 2’, recently received an A certificate from the Censor Board, leading to substantial modifications.
With these dynamics in play, the cinematic landscape is set to witness engaging clashes and fervent audience anticipation as ‘Gadar 2’ and ‘OMG 2’ vie for attention, each bringing its unique narrative and cinematic journey to the forefront.
