Gadar 2: Anil Sharma REVEALS They Had NO BUDGET For VFX, Claims The Action Was Real !

No VfX Used For Action

"We didn't have Rs 50 crore or Rs 60 crore for VFX," said director Anil Sharma. Studios are spending that, sometimes up to Rs 100 crore on VFX." Sharma's use of practical effects and real-world components shows the power of conventional filmmaking in a time when CGI and visual effects rule the screen.

The director's genuineness shines in 'Gadar 2.' Anil Sharma and his team shot everything for genuine, from stunning explosions to tanks and large crowds. This painstaking attention to detail contrasts with the current practice of using post-production magic to produce magnificent scenes.

Sharma says this method is difficult, "It needs time and effort. This is how movies were made; this is how we made Gadar." The hard work behind the scenes depicts a time when filmmaking was practical.

Craze Of Gadar

The cast and crew of 'Gadar 2' put the film before themselves, which sets it different. Anil Sharma laments Bollywood films' rising budgets due to star payments. He said the actors and crew of 'Gadar 2,' including Sunny Deol, sacrificed to put most of the budget into production rather than remuneration.

Film's Non-stop Success

With 'Gadar 2' entering its fourth week and having earned Rs 506 crore in India, it is on track to break the Hindi movie record set by 'Pathaan' of Rs 543 crore. This remarkable success shows that a large audience still wants classic filmmaking's realism and storytelling.

In an industry preoccupied with glamor, glamour, and expensive budgets, 'Gadar 2' shows that practical effects and a well-crafted narrative are timeless. Anil Sharma's realism has won over viewers and started a debate over Bollywood's future. In this technological age, there may be potential for a return to old-fashioned cinematic magic, when the actors and crew's perspiration shines as brilliantly as CGI.
