'Main Nikla Gaddi Leke' Composer Uttam Singh Slams 'Gadar 2' Makers For Recreating His Songs: They Should At Least Have The Etiquette To Ask Me Once

'Gadar 2' that released in theatres on August 11 has created a tsunami at the box office. It has already crossed the Rs 400 crore mark and still running successfully. The Sunny Deol starrer is the sequel to the 2001 blockbuster 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'. From the story to the dialogue and the music, everything about 'Gadar 2' is loved by the audience. Two songs from the previous films are recreated in the sequel. Uttam Singh who had composed the music of 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' has now reacted to the recreation of his songs. 

Uttam had originally composed the original songs, 'Main Nikla Gaddi Leke' and 'Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava', which were recreated by music director Mithoon for 'Gadar 2'. Now, in an interview with Amar Ujala, Uttam expressing his disdain, said in Hindi that the makers didn’t call him for 'Gadar 2' and he doesn’t have the habit of calling and asking for work. ''They have used two of my songs in the film and I have also heard that they have used the background music that I composed. They should at least have the etiquette to ask me once and talk to me before using my songs in the film,'' he said. 

The makers are yet to comment on Uttam Singh's claims.

Recently, Sunny Deol took to Instagram and shared a video in which he thanked fans and was teary-eyed as he turned emotional. He said, “Thank you everyone that you liked Gadar 2. I never thought this would happen. We have crossed ₹400 crore and will go further. It was possible only because of you. You all liked the film. You all liked Tara Singh, Sakina and the whole family. Thank you.”

Directed by Anil Sharma, the film also starred Ameesha Patel, Utkarsh Sharma, Simratt Kaur Randhawa and Manish Wadhwa in pivotal roles.
