'Gadar 2' director Anil Sharma has opened up about the challenge posed by Atlee's 'Jawan' to his film. With Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, 'Jawan' released on September 7 and has been receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience.
During an interview with Indian Express, 'Gadar 2' director was asked whether he is concerned about the box office clash with SRK’s most awaited release, Anil Sharma answered, “Both the films will work. The public will enjoy both the movies equally. Even when I had seen Pathaan… See, I am a Shah Rukh Khan fan… When the trailer of the film had released bohot buraai huiee. When I had seen Pathaan’s trailer, I had said that the film is a superhit. People had said, ‘Bohot kharaab trailer hai (People said the trailer was bad)"
He added, “I loved Pathaan’s trailer and then enjoyed the movie even more, and now I have loved Jawan trailers as well and I am now looking forward to catching the film as well. I don’t know what the industry will say about the film, but it is going to be such a mass entertainer. The music, dance and dialogue baazi especially is looking good, very likable. I am an SRK fan, and I am going to watch the movie. Badi acchhi lag rahi hai film (the film is looking very good). I’ll watch it on the first day itself.”
The director concluded by saying that ‘Jawan’ will receive same amount of love as ‘Gadar 2’.
‘Gadar 2’ released on August 11. It stars Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in the lead.
