Gadar 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, is nearing the Rs 430 crores mark at the domestic box office after successfully completing a fortnight in theatres. The film, directed by Anil Sharma and starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, has been a huge hit with audiences and is now inching closer to overtaking Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan as the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.
In a recent interview with India Today, Sharma opened up about the film's success, and said that he and Deol had never paid heed to the box office hype. "We wanted to make a space in people's hearts with Gadar 2, and we have successfully managed to do that," he said.
Asked how he looks at his film possibly overtaking Pathaan, Sharma said, "I don't believe in numbers. Pathaan has done exceptionally well, even KGF (Chapter 2) did extremely well, and now, Gadar 2 is performing as well. Now, let's see how far it goes, how far the public takes it. It is the public's film."
"We have already crossed Rs 400 crore, it will reach the Rs 500 crore mark in the coming week and maybe the Rs 1,000 crore mark at some point. So, we are not looking at numbers alone, we are trying to make a place in people's hearts. People are watching it and loving it, that's enough for us. Whatever (box office) numbers have come out today are real; there is nothing fake," he added.
Gadar 2 was released on August 11, alongside Akshay Kumar-starrer OMG 2. The film made Rs 40 crores on opening day but peaked on Independence Day when it made Rs 55 crores. It has since been consistently performing well at the box office and is expected to continue its run in the days to come.
