Ankur Bhatia Reveals How He Missed A Meaty Role in Gadar 2
Gadar: The Katha Continues, also known as Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, has set a new record in Indian cinema, crossing the Rs 500 crore mark at the box office. This sequel to the 2001 super hit film, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, has garnered immense love and acclaim from both the audience and critics on social media.
Ankur Bhatia’s Missed Opportunity
In a recent interview, actor Ankur Bhatia, known for his role in Taali, shared a heartbreaking revelation. He had lost the opportunity to play a significant role in the much-anticipated Gadar 2. Ankur was offered the role of a Lieutenant Colonel but had to turn it down due to prior commitments. In his words, “I was offered the role of an Indian army officer. I had a meeting with director Anil Sharma and got on board. However, when the film finally went on the floor, I had picked up something else by then and couldn’t shoot for the Sunny Deol starrer.”
Destiny’s Role
Ankur expressed his admiration for the film and its success, saying, “I would have loved to be a part of Gadar 2. I mean, look at it… it is such a huge success. It would have been awesome to have it in my portfolio. After all, it’s all about destiny. It is funny how destiny works. I’m extremely happy for the whole team, though.” He also revealed that he developed a fondness for Sunny Deol and even had the chance to meet him during the success celebration of Gadar 2.
The Grand Release
Gadar 2 hit theaters on August 11, 2023, and boasts a star-studded cast including Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Manish Wadhwa, Gaurav Chopra, Luv Sinha, Simrat Kaur, Mir Sarwar, Rohit Choudhary, Rakesh Bedi, and many others in supporting roles.
