‘Main Nikla Gaddi Leke’ composer Uttam Singh hits out at ‘Gadar 2’ makers for using his original tracks

Amid ‘Gadar 2’, setting new box office records, the Sunny Doel starrer has made headline for the wrong reason. Uttam Singh, who composed music for the first installment of the film, has said that ‘Gadar 2’ makers used his original songs ‘Main Nikla Gaddi Leke’ and ‘Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava’ without asking him.

In the interview with Amar Ujala, Uttam Singh said, ‘They didn’t call me for Gadar 2 and I don’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.’

The popular songs were recreated in ‘Gadar 2’ by music director Mithoon.

‘Gadar 2’ is the sequel to Anil Sharma's 2001 film ‘Gadar Ek Prem Katha’. Sunny and Ameesha Patel reprise their role of Tara Singh and Sakeena. Anil's son Utkarsh Sharma also reprised his role as Jeete in the film.

‘Gadar 2’ which was released on August 11, has grossed around ₹411.10 crore.

Sunny Deol took to Instagram and shared a video in which he thanked fans and 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.’
