Talking about Lahore 1947, he said, “Lahore ek aisa subject hai jispe hum kaafi saalon se kaam kar rahe the, kayi actron ne kahaani suni hai. Kayi actor ke saath banne wala bhi tha, lekin bana nahi. Then again, Gadar 2 has made everything happen. (We have been working on Lahore 1947 for so many years. Several actors heard the story, and many of them were supposed to do it as well but it didn’t happen. But Gadar 2 made everything happen.”
