Sunny Deol was in a different mood altogether at the success press conference of Gadar 2. He started his speech by talking about the greatness of his father, Dharmendra. He then expressed reservation about demarcation of audiences into classes and masses.

Sunny Deol said, “Papa ne jaisa cinema kiya, aaj tak kisi ne aisa cinema nahin kiya. He’s an actor who has given super-hits in all genres. Is there any actor today who can claim that he did comedy, drama, action, emotional films and all of them worked? Aaj ke zamane mein ek bhi aisa actor nahin aur pehle ke zamane mein bhi nahin tha. Sirf papa the. But he never talked about it. The aam junta knew about it. Industry nahin bol sakti thi kyun ki woh bahut hi bada aadmi tha. Waisa banna mushkil tha. Aise aadmi ki badhaayi nahi kar sakte toh uske baare mein shant rehte hai. And we are bhola bhala. We don’t bother about what someone has to say. Hum junta ke saath juude hue hai.”

Sunny Deol continued, “The junta has given Tara Singh and his family a place in their hearts. They also want a family like Tara’s. Aur uss parivar ki taakat uska pyaar hai. And when he faces a problem, he stands up. Aur fir uske saath rab juudta hai. Rab uske andar aa jaata hai. Mushkil waqt pe har family mein rab aa hi jaata hai. That’s what we call miracle. And that’s what people can see (in Gadar 2) and they are loving it.”

He then thundered, “I promise all my fans ki main aisi hi filmein banaunga! Aaj kal kehte hai na – masses. What do you mean by masses? Public is public! Hum sab public hai. Aap ‘mass’ bolke kuch logon ko neeche dikha rahe ho? Aapko lagta hai ki aap bade ho? Aapko saalon ko akal nahin hai. Unko samaj hi nahin hai Hindustan ki. Apne mulk ko samjho.”

Lastly, he also said, “Often we copy stuff from other industries. Apne aap ko ubhaaro. Kala woh hoti hai. Hamare yahan itni kala thi. Poori duniya hamari kala chori karke le ke gayi thi and look where they have reached. Don’t ape them. They are fine-tuning their art. And we copy them. Why can’t we think original? Often some filmmakers tell them ‘Yeh uss picture ka scene hai. Isko karein?’. I ask them ‘Aap koi naya scene soch nahin sakte?’. I never like to perform a scene which has already been done before.”
