Gadar 2: Sunny Deol & Ameesha Patel’s Romantic Scene In Gurudwara Draws SGPC’s Ire

New Delhi: A romantic scene between Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel for Gadar 2 filmed in a gurudwara has sparked controversy.  In a video doing the rounds on social media, Sunny and Ameesha are seen filming a scene in a Gurudwara.

The actors were seen walking in the Gurudwara arm-in-arm. The video has drawn criticism from Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), who called out the makers on social media. GPC General Secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal pulled up Sunny Deol for filming the romantic scene in a religious place.

The SGPC expressed their displeasure and demanded action. “We strongly objected to the shooting of objectionable scenes of Gadar 2 within the limits of Gurudwara Sahib.”

Reacting to the controversy, Gadar 2 director Anil Sharma took to Twitter and shared a statement. “I would like to address the recent incident involving leaked footage from one of the scenes of our film, Gadar 2, which took place in the outer courtyard of a Gurudwara. First and foremost, I want to emphasize that I, along with the team hold the highest respect for religious sentiments and are fully committed to upholding their sanctity. I have maintained this in films I have made in the past and will ensure this in the future as well,” he said.

“I also want to make it clear that the captured footage was taken on a private phone and represents an unedited scene from the film. If my actions have unintentionally caused any hurt or offense, I sincerely apologise. It was never my intention to offend or disrespect anyone and I deeply regret any distress caused,” the director added.

 

“We strictly adhere to all rules and guidelines to ensure that our work is carried out in a responsible and respectful manner. I would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Gurudwara committee for their unwavering support and coorperation throughout the filming process. I sincerely thank you for all your understanding and continued support. I would like to sign off by saying that no religious sentiments were, or will be harmed by Gadar 2,” Anil said in his statement.

Gadar 2 is slated to release on August 11.
