Sunny Deol talks about India-Pakistan conflict

Addressing reporters at the trailer launch, Sunny Deol conveyed a powerful message about humanity prevailing over hatred. He stressed that conflicts between India and Pakistan should not overshadow the peace and unity that binds both nations. He said that Gadar 2 echoes this theme, highlighting how the political blame game creates animosity between the two countries. He added that his character Tara Singh embodies the idea of peace and coexistence.  

"The essence lies in humanity, not in taking or giving. A conflict between the two sides should not prevail. It is the political blame game that creates hatred between India and Pakistan, a theme reflected in this film. Both nations comprise people who seek peace, as we are essentially one and the same," he said.
