For the unversed, Akshay Kumar on Wednesday had shared a clip from his movie 'OMG 2', in which he can be seen singing 'Udja Kale Kawan' from 'Gadar 2'.
Sharing the clip, he wrote, "A big thank you to our audiences for all the love for #OhMyGadar and giving us the greatest week in Indian Film History! Pyaar aur abhaar."
On its opening day, ‘Gadar 2’ minted Rs 40.1 crore. It has been performing exceedingly well at the cinemas despite competition from Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi’s ‘OMG 2’, and Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, which released on July 28.
‘Gadar 2’ not just marks return of Ameesha Patel and Sunny Deol but also child actor Utkarsh Sharma. The latter is now 29 and plays Tara Singh and Sakeena's son in ‘Gadar 2’ as well.
It is set in the backdrop of the ‘Crush India’ campaign in 1971. It revolves around Tara Singh's efforts to free Charanjeet from Pakistan when he is captured by their army.
‘Gadar 2’ also stars Manish Wadhwa, Gaurav Chopra, Simrat Kaur, Luv Sinha, Rakesh Bedi and Dolly Bindra.
