CGI created recreation of dadu Amrish Puri in Gadar 2 made us emotional: Vardhan Puri

14 Aug 2023

The particular scene left Amrish Puris grandson Vardhan Puri extremely emotional.Reacting to it, Vardhan said, Ashraf Ali is a legendary character immortalised by my grandfather. The CGI created recreation of Dadu in the film has made every Indian emotional all over the world. The respect the team and every indian has shown to dadus soul during the making of the film and during marketing and release is overwhelming. My family and I love the Deol family and the Sharma family dearly.Tonnes of messages and calls have been received from various fans, filmmakers, actors and members of our industry and the media. Everyone is missing him and emotions are soaring. The ever gracious Sunny sir and Anil Sharma sir expressed their gratitude towards Dadu and that made all of us in my family smile and feel extremely proud, he added.Vardhan also recalled watching Gadars first part in theatres.It was one of the most memorable cinematic and patriotic moments of my life yet. As a matter of fact, I watched it multiple times in the theatres, he shared.Helmed by Anil Sharma, Gadar was released in theatres in 2001. Sunny Deol played the role of Tara, a truck driver, while Ameesha played Sakina in the film that was set during the partition of India in 1947. 'Gadar 2' follows Tara Singh as he ventures across the border in a daring attempt to rescue his son, portrayed by Utkarsh Sharma, who has been captured in Pakistan. The sequel has managed to create a record at the box office with huge collections. On its first Sunday in theatres, August 13, 'Gadar 2' earned a whopping Rs 52 crore.

Vardhan Puri recalls his grandfather's popularity after the release of 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'

8 Jun 2023

Amrish Puri's grandson, Vardhan Puri, who made his film debut in 2019 with the film 'Yeh Saali Aashiqui', recalled watching his grandfather on-screen in 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha', which is all set to re-release in theatres."As a child I remember being completely mesmerised while watching my grandfather on screen. The feeling has not changed one bit. I am still that excited child soaking in every expression, every word spoken by him. As I said earlier, he is my greatest teacher, and watching him put out his artistry for the world is always the most beautiful experience. Watching 'Gadar' again in the cinema house is going to be an emotional journey.He further shared the popularity of the film and the fame the seasoned actor got after the movie was released in 2001."I remember this one time when we went to visit a guest at a suburban 5-star hotel in Mumbai and dadu (grandfather) was mobbed by hordes of people who just wouldn't let him go. In front of my eyes, he signed at least 500 autographs if not more. The police had to intervene and only then we could reach our car to proceed home. Also, I heard from my dadu's personal staff that when the Gadar unit was shooting at Amritsar railway station, a huge crowd of fans including ministers and senior politicians had collected right next to the shooting location.""There was so much noise that it was impossible to even roll one shot.

He took the mike and spoke to the crowd, asking them to maintain decorum, and only then could dadu and the other cast including Sunny sir and Ameesha ji proceed with the shooting," he concluded.Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel starrer 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' re-release on June 9.
