Gadar 2 Trailer Launch: Ameesha Patel Overcomes Doubts and Embraces Challenging Role as a Mother
The trailer launch event of Gadar 2 faced mismanagement and significant delays, but it didn't fail to offer entertaining moments as the film's cast shared intriguing insights about the project. Ameesha Patel, who plays a pivotal role as a mother in the movie, revealed some interesting anecdotes about her journey.
Ameesha recounted how, when she was approached for Gadar (2001), some prominent figures in Bollywood advised her against accepting the role of a mother. At the time, she had been portraying college girls in various films, including ones with Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Hrithik Roshan. Despite the skepticism, Ameesha was drawn to the challenging character and had faith in her director, Anil Sharma, whose brilliance she admired.
Recalling those days, Ameesha shared, "I had been working on films like Yeh Hai Jalwa (2002), Parwana (2003), Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000), and Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage (2002), where I played youthful roles. People questioned my decision to take up a mother's role in Gadar, even before Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai had released. They doubted if I could convincingly portray a mother."
However, Ameesha embraced the challenge and stepped out of her comfort zone, determined to prove her versatility. She acknowledged that the transformation into a motherly character was not easy, but Anil Sharma's patient guidance and support made the process smoother. They worked together for six months on dialogues, appearances, and every aspect to ensure she embodied the role convincingly.
Fast forward to the discussions surrounding Gadar 2, Ameesha faced similar doubts, with people questioning her ability to play a mother at this stage of her career, given her popular image from the song "Lazy Lamhe." But undeterred, she gladly accepted the challenge once again, eager to push her boundaries and bring depth to her performance.
In conclusion, Ameesha Patel's journey with Gadar 2 exemplifies her dedication to her craft and her willingness to take risks. With a director she trusts and her determination to embrace challenging roles, she looks forward to delivering yet another memorable performance in the highly anticipated sequel.
