Ameesha Patel was not ready to play the role of mother-in-law in 'Gadar 2'
Perhaps before the release of the 2023 blockbuster film 'Gadar 2', the rift between its director anil sharma and lead actress ameesha patel remained in the headlines. Recently, the filmmaker talked about this and told that Ameesha was initially not ready to play the role of a mother-in-law. However, he felt that when she was ready to play the role of a mother on screen, she should also be ready to play the role of a mother-in-law. Ameesha played the role of Sakina in Gadar and then its sequel.
Meanwhile during a latest interview with siddharth Kannan, anil sharma said, "In the story of Gadar 2, she (Ameesha Patel) did not get as much space as she got in Gadar 1. She could not understand age and time. Age is one thing and everyone has to understand it. When you are the mother of Jeeta, you will also have to become the mother-in-law of his daughter-in-law." He said, "They believe that you are working very hard on yourself but you are an artist. nargis also played a mother in Mother india when she was young, so you have to play." Anil further said that Amisha sometimes used to say that I will not play the role of mother-in-law. I don't know who filled these meaningless things in her mind.
Moreover anil sharma further said that in today's world there is a belief that actors should avoid certain roles to maintain their image. This can create a conflict in her mind. But, the issues were resolved with time. Despite these challenges, Sharma also expressed his respect for Ameesha and said that she will always be like Sakeena from Gadar 1 to him, and he has no ill will towards her. He said that she is a part of his family and will always be.
