Ameesha Patel Recalls Anil Sharma Ghosted Her For A Year, Changed 'Gadar 2' Climax, Says, 'I Hope..'

Ameesha Patel had hit rock bottom when her role as 'Sakeena Ali Singh' in Gadar 2 revived her career. While the film was a massive success at the box office and received immense love from the fans, the actress was not completely satisfied by the film. She revealed that she felt betrayed by the filmmaker, Anil Sharma, despite the success of the film. 

Ameesha Patel recalled Anil Sharma changed the climax of Gadar 2 without informing her

Ameesha Patel recently sat for a candid conversation with Maniesh Paul. The actress shared about her experience working on Gadar 2 and why she was not satisfied with the success of the film. She revealed that the director of the film, Anil Sharma, ghosted her for almost a year during the film shoot. The actress, while maintaining that she would be willing to participate in Gadar 3, Ameesha also admitted that it would only be possible after proper paperwork. Ameesha was quoted as saying:

"I agreed to do Gadar 2 because the climax featured Sakeena killing the villain. It was justified, too, because the villain (Major-General of Pakistan Army Hamid Iqbal, played by Manish Wadhwa) executed Sakeena’s father, Ashraf Ali. Everyone reached a consensus in this regard. Sunny Ji (Sunny Deol) was also on board, and the dialogues were ready. It would have been an incredible ending."

Ameesha Patel recalled being ghosted by Anil Sharma for over a year

In the same conversation, Ameesha Patel revealed that Anil Sharma was like family to her as she had known him for over 27 years. She added that because of her personal relationships, she never signed a contract with Anil before Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, nor was there a bound script, giving the team an open space to change the narrative as the film progressed.

However, when they were in the middle of the shoot, Anil ghosted her for a year. Ameesha added that when she was contacted again, the climax had been changed. The current climax came across to many as abrupt, particularly since it did not show who eliminated the villain. She stated:

"He told me to trust him, asking, 'Would I do anything that would leave Sakeena unhappy?' So I went with the flow and shot for the film. After I returned to Mumbai from Palampur, where the first schedule of Gadar 2 was shot, my director did not contact me for a year. During that time, I got to know that they had shot the climax without telling me two months after we returned. Sakeena was the right person to take revenge there."

Ameesha Patel will do Gadar 3 only if there is proper paperwork

In the same conversation, Ameesha Patel revealed that while she chose not to fight with the director, Anil Sharma, she hoped that his conscience would make him realise his wrongdoings. Further in the conversation, when Maniesh Paul asked if she would take up the opportunity to work in Gadar 3, Ameesha responded affirmatively. However, she added that this time she would want the proper paperwork. She stated:

"Let bygones be bygones. However, I hope Anil Sharma’s conscience strikes. Also, I believe there’s an almighty and karma; you reap what you sow. However, I would want a clear-cut understanding, with everything documented and bound by a contract. That said, I'm not opposed to working with anyone in the industry."
