Utkarsh Sharma, Simrat Kaur spills the beans on how Sunny Deol’s iconic handpump scene in Gadar 2 was shot.
Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2 has created a stir at the box office. The movie opened to a thunderous response from the audience and continues to have a successful run at the box office. Recently, in an interview, Utkarsh Sharma and Simrat Kaur revealed that the handpump scene in the movie was shot secretly.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Gadar 2 actors Utkarsh Sharma and Simrat Kaur revealed how the iconic ‘handpump’ scene was shot in the movie and said, “So we purposely avoided discussing the ‘handpump’ scene on sets. We kept it a secret so that there is excitement and hype to it. The scene was shot secretly, no other actor was on set. We knew the scene obviously, and Sunny Deol shot for the scene early morning. Even we (Utkarsh and Simran) were not on the set,”
He added, “When they were planning the shoot a day earlier in the location in Lucknow, people saw the property – the handpump, and immediately there was a large crowd. Then we had to change the location, as it was impossible to shoot there.”
