'Gadar 2': Director reacts to composer Uttam Singh's allegations; says 'I can't believe it'

Amid all the praise and successful run at the box office, 'Gadar 2' is making headlines for allegedly using songs 'Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava' and 'Main Nikla Gaddi Le Ke' without the permission of composer Uttam Singh.

Now, director Anil Sharma has reacted to the allegations and said that he's shocked as he had shown Uttam Singh the songs and technically the rights are with the label. He further said that he'll talk to the renowned composer.

In an interview with The Times of India, Anil Sharma expressed shock over Uttam Singh’s allegations.

Uttam had composed the original 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' songs Main Nikla Gaddi Leke and Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava, which were recreated by music director Mithoon for 'Gadar 2'.
Anil said, 'I showed Uttamji all the songs. Mujhe hairani hai ki unhone ab aisa statement diya hai (I am shocked he gave such a statement). Technically, the rights were with the label. Mera aur Uttamjji ka dil ka rishta hai aur yeh sab sunkar mujhe bahut hairani hai (We have a close relationship and I am shocked at hearing what he has said). I still can’t believe it. Now that I know about this, I will definitely speak to him. '

Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma, has been unstoppable at the box office even in its third week of release. The film has collected around ₹438.7 crore nett in India in 16 days and is now closer to crossing the ₹500 crore mark.
