Hyderabad: Sunny Deo has responded to the criticism surrounding his film Gadar 2, which has been accused of being 'anti-Pakistani' and portraying Muslims negatively. Despite Gadar 2's humungous box office success, these allegations have sparked discussions about its content.
Deol dismissed these claims and emphasized that cinema should primarily be viewed as entertainment rather than subject to intense analysis. During a conversation with the international webloid, Sunny addressed the notion that Gadar 2 is perceived as 'anti-Pakistani.' He acknowledged the enmity stemming from the partition in 1947, but emphasized that it's time to move past such sentiments. He opined that people in both countries recognise their shared humanity and emphasized that in films, there are characters of varying shades, including heroes and villains, that drive the narrative.

He expressed his belief in responsible cinema that doesn't target specific groups. He also referenced his previous film Border, stating that it was inspired by soldiers' real experiences during the war. However, he acknowledged that interpretations can vary widely.
