One of the highlights of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001), starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, were its songs. The film, which was released at the turn of the millennium, had popular tracks like Udd Ja Kale Kawan and Main Nikla Gaddi Leke. The sequel to the film has gone on floors after a gap of 20 years in North India, taking the story ahead from where the first one left us. Bombay Times has it that Sunny and director Anil Sharma plan to reboot some of the songs from the original album for the sequel.

Talking about it, Sunny says, “Yes, why not? Main Nikla Gaddi Leke and Udd Ja Kale Kawan might just be a part of Gadar 2. Gadar was a musical because my character, Tara Singh, was driven by music. His sense of music won’t change.”

Adding to this, director Anil Sharma says,“Woh toh wahi gaane bajayega na? Music was the heartbeat of the original and our idea is to ensure that the audience does not go home disappointed with the sequel. They should feel as close to this story as they felt with the original. We don’t ever wish to spoil the legacy of the original. Music will be an integral part of Tara Singh’s journey, this time, too.”
