‘Gadar 2’, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, will open to theatres on August 11
Actress Ameesha Patel is all set to reprise her iconic role Sakina in ‘Gadar 2’. Now in a series of tweets, she has spoken about the “mismanagement” on the sets of the film, and even addressed queries regarding the dues not being paid to make-up artists and costume designers by Anil Sharma Productions.
She tweeted, “There were certain queries that many technicians like makeup artists, costume designers and others etc did not receive their rightful remuneration and dues from Anil Sharma Productions. Yes, they did not.” She added, “But Zee Studios stepped in and made sure all dues were settled as they are a very professional company.”
In a follow-up tweet, she said, “food bills were left unpaid and cars were not provided to certain cast and crew members leaving them stranded.”
Nonetheless, her posts have created a stir on social media. Replying to the tweet, a person, who said that he is the “line producer” for the film, mentioned, “All the movie expenses have been personally handled by me, leaving no outstanding balance. We are delighted to be a part of this exciting project.”
Meanwhile, a fan too lashed out at her by tweeting, “The biggest blockbuster of your career was Gadar by Anil Sharma... I think it's time for you to acknowledge and be grateful to him for helping you to revive your career.”
“You are not professional, these issues should be sorted on a personal level not on Twitter,” commented another fan.
Another Twitter user, who alleged he is part of Gadar 2's production, stated, “This is false, everybody got the payment because I am also part of the production..she is spreading the wrong messages. Because she is playing a character role in Gadar2, she is not the heroine. Heroine is Simrat Kaur, star of the future.”
Not to miss, a couple of days ago, Ameesha leaked a spoiler from ‘Gadar 2’, and wrote, “Hey all my lovely fans!! Too many of you have been concerned and worried with this shot from Gadar 2 thinking it's Sakina who is dead !! Well, it's not !! Who it is I can't say but it's not Sakina !! So pls don't WORRY !! Love you, all.”
The film, a sequel to the 2001 superhit film ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’, will also feature Utkarsh Sharma, Manish Wadhwa, Gaurav Chopra, Luv Sinha, and Simrat Kaur.
