Anil Sharma teases ‘Gadar 3’ plans as the iconic franchise marks 25 years
As ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’ completes 25 years, director Anil Sharma has reflected on the film’s extraordinary legacy and confirmed that work on ‘Gadar 3’ is already underway. Speaking to Hindustan Times on the milestone anniversary, Sharma said he feels deeply grateful for the enduring affection audiences continue to show the franchise.
Sharma recalled the moment he first heard the story that would become one of Indian cinema’s biggest blockbusters. “The day the film’s writer, Shaktimaan Talwar, narrated the story, I knew it had the potential to become India’s biggest hit film, and it did. Mother India (1957), Mughal-e-Azam (1960), and Sholay (1975) have been my favourite films, and I tried to make this on that level, and it made it to the top list. Besides blockbuster business, it got 10 crore footfalls, and no film has achieved that till date. Even Gadar 2 had half of this footfall,” he shared.

The director confirmed that the team is actively developing the third instalment, with the intention of expanding the world of Tara Singh and Sakina while staying true to the emotional core that made the original a cultural phenomenon. Although Sharma did not reveal plot specifics, he hinted that the film will continue the franchise’s signature blend of patriotism, high drama and sweeping romance.
