The Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel starrer Gadar 2 has broken box office records. The film is recognized as the second highest-grossing film after Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan. It’s not just the nostalgia from the first installment; the performances and music are also captivating audiences across the nation. While the movie is receiving enormous love and support, it has recently got into a controversy.
Uttam Singh, a well-known Indian music composer and conductor, famous for his work in the Hindi film industry, was the original music composer of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. He has slammed the makers of the sequel for using his song without his consent. The two most popular songs from the first installment, Udd Ja Kale Kaava and Main Nikla Gaddi, have been used in the Sunny Deol starrer Gadar 2. These songs have been rearranged by Mithoon, and certain segments of the background score have also been utilized.
In a conversation with Amar Ujala, he said, “They didn’t call me for Gadar 2, and I don’t have the habit of calling and asking for work. They have used two of my songs in the film, and I have also heard that they have used the background music that I composed. They should at least have the etiquette to ask me once and talk to me before using my songs in the film.”
Well, the film is making a strong performance at the box office, having now earned 420 crores and broken records. It’s in competition with Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.
