Today
(June
15,
2021),
Anil
Sharma's
Gadar:
Ek
Prem
Katha
turned
twenty
and
while
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
director
Anil
Sharma
revealed
that
the
film
was
turned
down
by
many
top
actresses,
because
they
felt
neither
film
nor
actor
Sunny
Deol
was
up
to
their
standard.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
an
entertainment
portal,
when
Anil
Sharma
was
asked
if
the
rumour
of
Kajol
rejecting
the
film
is
true,
he
refused
to
react
and
said
that
naming
any
particular
actress
who
rejected
the
film
won't
be
right.
But
he
confirmed
that
many
actresses
had
rejected
the
film
as
they
didn't
see
potential
in
it.
He
told
Bollywood
Bubble,
"I
don't
want
to
name
anyone,
it's
not
right.
The
media
is
free
to
name
anyone.
But
we
approached
several
top
actresses
of
the
time.
Some
felt
that
we
weren't
up
to
their
standards,
they
felt
Sunny
Deol
'sahab'
wasn't
up
to
their
standards;
they
felt
they
were
too
big
for
us.
They
felt
we
weren't
'trendy'.
They
didn't
even
listen
to
the
story."
He
went
on
to
add
that
some
actresses
who
heard
his
story,
felt
that
it
was
a
period
film,
and
it
would
involve
getting
dirty,
as
those
days
films
would
be
shot
internationally.
"They
used
to
tell
us
to
make
'youth
oriented'
films.
They'd
make
some
excuse
or
the
other.
Perhaps
it
isn't
their
fault,"
said
Sharma,
adding
that
the
film
was
destined
to
fall
into
Ameesha
Patel's
lap.
With
respect
to
work,
Anil
Sharma
is
quite
enthralled
to
bring
the
three
generations
of
the
Deol
family-
Dharmendra,
Sunny
Deol,
Bobby
Deol
and
Karan
Deol
in
his
next
project
Apne
2,
which
is
a
sequel
to
Apne.
