Sharing an update on Gadar 3, director Anil Sharma shared, “After Utkarsh (Sharma, son-actor) grew up, people started saying Jeete ki kahani laao. But for me, if the Gadar story were a bomb, I would only make Gadar 2 if I got an atom bomb story and it made history. Now, if I get a nuclear bomb story, then only I will make it. We are working on the script and, God willing, if all goes on track, we will start Gadar 3 next year!"
