The film is a sequel to the hit 2001 film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha that was set during the partition of India in 1947. Gadar 2 follows Tara Singh as he ventures across the border in a daring attempt to rescue his son (Utkarsh Sharma), who has been captured in Pakistan. It is set in 1971.

At a special screening of the film in London recently, Sunny said according to PTI, “I believe that every man wants his wife to be like Sakeena and every woman wants her husband to be like Tara Singh. And, the family, the way they hold on together and fight off everything, that’s the basic USP (unique selling point) of the story.”
