Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, featuring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in lead roles, was released in 2001 and turned out to be a huge blockbuster. After a gap of 20 years, the makers are now helming Gadar 2 in which both the lead actors along with their on-screen son Utkarsh Sharma will be seen reprising their roles. Earlier this month, the shooting for Gadar sequel finally started in Himachal Pradesh and has been going on in full swing. 

It's only been a few days since Gadar 2 went on floors and the film has now courted controversy over the shoot location. According to reports, the makers have been accused of cheating and fraud. 

Some important sequences of the much-awaited film were shot recently in Bhaled village near Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. The team shot at a property for 10 days in the village and the owner has now accused the makers of cheating.  

He has claimed that the film's shooting was supposed to take place in 1 hall and 3 rooms only and the Gadar 2 makers had agreed to pay Rs 11,000 per day as rent.  

“But, now the makers are using the entire house for shooting the film. The makers are also using the house of my elder brother. Makers have cheated us. We are facing a lot of trouble due to shooting,” the News18 report quoted the owner.

Also, he has now asked the makers to stop shooting the film on his property and has reportedly given a bill of Rs 56 lakh to them. The Gadar 2 team is yet to react to the same. 

Earlier this month, announcing the film on social media, Ameesha Patel had shared a few pictures from the set revealing her as well as Sunny Deol's look. In the photos, both the actors are seen posing together for pictures. Looks like they have not aged at all! 

Reportedly, the story will be continued from where it was left off two decades ago. 

For the unversed, Gadar had clashed with Aamir Khan's Lagaan in 2001. However, both films performed really well at the box office and turned out to be superhits. Fans are now eagerly waiting for Gadar 2 and it'll be interesting to see if the makers will be able to create the same magic onscreen or not.
