'Gadar' director Anil Sharma responds to Ameesha Patel's ‘mismanagement’ allegations

Filmmaker Anil Sharma has finally responded to the allegations made by his lead star, Ameesha Patel about mismanagement during 'Gadar 2' shoot.

In a recent interview with Dainik Bhaskar, the filmmaker said, “I have no clue why she said all of this. All I would like to say is that this is all false, none of it is true. At the same time, I would like to thank Ameesha Patel. She made my production house famous. What can be bigger than this? I thank her for making our new production house famous.”

Ameesha had complained that many technicians including makeup artists, costume designers did not get their rightful remuneration from Anil Sharma Productions.

In a series of tweets, Ameesha wrote, “Another concern of fans has been about certain incidents regarding Anil Sharma Productions to have taken place in regards to the final schedule of Gadar 2 that took place end May in Chandigarh!! 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!! But @ZeeStudios_ stepped in and made sure all dues were settled as they are a very professional company!"

She added, "Yes from accommodation, to transport to Chandigarh airport on the final day to food bills were left unpaid and cars were not provided to certain cast and crew members leaving them stranded! But yet again @zeestudios stepped in and corrected these issues caused by Anil Sharma Productions!!!"

‘Gadar 2’ marks reunion of Anil Sharma with his lead stars Ameesha Patel and Sunny Deol. The film also stars Anil’s son Utkarsh Sharma - who featured as a child in the 2001 film.
