Gadar 2 is one of the most awaited love stories that fans have been eagerly waiting for. The eternal love story of Tara Singh and Sakina is coming back to the silver screens after 22 years. Released in 2001, 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' emerged as the winner at ticket windows. This film introduced Sunny Deol as Tara Singh in such a way that even today people remember his dialogues. On the other hand, Ameesha Patel played Sakina. But do you know that none of them was the first choice of the makers for Gadar? 

According to media reports, Not Sunny but Govinda was approached for the role of Tara Singh. But when Govinda's film 'Maharaja' bombed at the box office, the makers changed their mind. On the other hand, reports claimed that Kajol was in talks for the role of the lead actress in the film, but she refused due to the fact that she was not the top actress of that time. 

In the first part, Amrish Puri was seen in the role of Villain, who played the role of Sakina's father. Earlier there was news that Rohit Chowdhary can be seen in the role of Villain in the film. But if reports are to be believed, in the sequel of Gadar, Manish Wadhwa will be seen in the role of Villain instead of Rohit Chowdhary.
