“Hamara Hindustan Zindabad hai, Zindabad tha, aur Zindabad rahega!” – Our beloved Tara Singh returns, ready to confront any adversary to defend his country and his family as Zee Cinema presents Gadar 2 at 8 PM on 15th August adding to the fervor. Starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, Gadar 2 is a gripping action drama set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

Commenting on the World Television Premiere of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, Randeep Hooda said, “I have worked immensely hard for two years on this film, which also happens to be my debut directorial film. It was a labor of love, with hurdles of course – be it transformation or research – but victory at the end, nonetheless. As I began studying him, apart from losing tremendous weight to look like him, I realized how little I knew beyond the fact that he went to Kala Pani. I also discovered that many aspects of his life and contributions are neither covered in school curriculums nor discussed publicly. This film sheds light on the legacy of Veer Savarkar, exploring his contributions to India’s freedom struggle. After the successful run in theatres, I’m excited for Zee Cinema audiences to witness this powerful narrative and engage with a story that holds significant historical importance on the auspicious day of Independence Day.”

This gripping story showcases Allu Arjun as a valiant soldier navigating the challenges and sacrifices of military life. The Extraordinary Marathon with Surya the Soldier at 11 pm, is a film that blends intense action with a compelling personal story.
