Sakina is officially coming back! Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel has sent social media into a frenzy by confirming that the third installment of the legendary Gadar franchise is in the works.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the actress promised that ‘Gadar 3’ would not only be “bigger and better” than its predecessors but also projected that the film would effortlessly cross the ₹500 crore mark at the box office, calling it the “minimum” for a brand of this stature.
Hungama in the Theatres: A Bigger Script Awaits
Reflecting on the monumental success of Gadar: The Elephant Returns (Gadar 2) in 2023, Ameesha assured fans that the upcoming script is being designed to create a “storm” in cinema halls. “Theatre mein hungama mach Jayega,” she wrote, emphasizing that the scale this time would be even more dhamakedar. While she had previously mentioned she would only return if the script matched the quality of the original 2001 classic, her latest announcement suggests that the creative team has finally cracked a story worthy of the Tara Singh-Sakina legacy.
A Sly Dig at ‘PR Machinery’
Ameesha didn’t stop at the movie announcement; she also took a sharp swipe at current industry trends and the “fake PR machinery” used by other actresses. Highlighting her track record with solo blockbusters like Kaho Naa… Pyar Hai, Gadar, and Gadar 2, she claimed that her films have seen the highest footfalls in history, often becoming the biggest hits for her male co-stars as well. “A star becomes a global superstar only when he or she delivers a huge hit all over the world,” she noted, urging the industry to stop relying on artificial PR boosts.
The Return of the Iconic Duo
The chemistry between Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel remains one of the most bankable assets in Indian cinema. After Gadar 2 broke numerous records upon its release, the anticipation for a trilogy has been sky-high. With Jio Studios and other major players reportedly looking to expand their franchise universes, Gadar 3 is expected to be one of the most anticipated releases of the upcoming years. As of now, fans are eagerly waiting for an official release date and a look at the “bigger scale” Ameesha has promised.
