The 2001 film, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, chronicles the story of Tara Singh and Sakina Ali, who fell in love with each other irrespective of their religion and country during the partition of India and Pakistan. Meanwhile, Gadar 2, is the continuation of the first film and takes place during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.

When asked to share his thoughts on the impact that the upcoming film could create between the two neighbouring countries, the director of Gadar 2 mentioned that his film is only talking about love.

"Films are made, so that relationships can become stronger. Last time, In the first part of Gadar we said the same thing that the whole world functions due to love. There is nothing without love. What else we can say apart from this? We can only speak what's in our hearts through our films. In the upcoming movie, we have said the same thing. And a lot of people do listen to us including the people of India and Pakistan. Although, I cannot speak about the political angles and backgrounds." he shared.

The makers released the official teaser of the upcoming romantic-action drama film and garnered immense praise from the cinephiles.
