Ameesha Patel talks about playing mother in Gadar 2
In Gadar 2, Ameesha Patel will reprise her role as Sakeena. At the trailer releasing event, the actor revealed that many people were doubtful when she was offered the first part of the film.
Ameesha also stated that even after two decades, many people were sceptical about her ability to play a mother in the sequel.
The Gadar 2 trailer was released along with the Kargil Vijay Divas. Sunny Deol and Ameesha were present at the trailer launch ceremony.
In the trailer, a Pakistani army commander tortures Tara (Sunny) and Sakina’s kid Jeete (Utkarsh). Tara promises an agonized Sakina that he will get Jeete back. He goes to Lahore and knocks up Pakistani soldiers with a sledgehammer.
Ameesha Patel about playing the mother in Gadar:
Ameesha revealed at the trailer premiere that many insiders did not believe she could play the role of a mother in Gadar.
Counting those remarks without naming anyone, she says, “Anil Ji ne jab mujhe pehli Gadar ki kahani sunayi thi tab bahut se logo ne, bahut jaani maani hastiyon ne, bade logo ne kaha ki mai ye film kaise karungi… ab sabne kaha ki aap toh Maa ka role kar hi nahi paoge. Mujhe challenges bahut acche lagte hain.
Instead of becoming discouraged, I saw it as a challenge. Logo ne Gadar ke ane ke pehle, Gadar ko gutter kaha tha.
(When I was initially offered Gadar, a lot of people from the film industry, big names, had asked how I would be able to pull off the role. People also called Gadar gutter before its release.
Ameesha said she has had the same worries since taking on the film’s sequel. She stated, “Aur ab Gadar 2 ki baat ayi tab bhi wahi sawaal uthe ki ‘Dude have you seen yourself on Instagram?’ Lazy Lamhe ki ladki ab kaise Gadar karegi? (Now on of Gadar 2, people still question how I can pull off a mother’s character after doing a song like Lazy Lamhe).”
