Uttam Singh has reacted to the recreation of his original songs in Gadar 2.

What the composer said

In the interview with Amar Ujala, composer Uttam Singh said in Hindi, “They didn’t call me for Gadar 2 and I don’t have the habit of calling and asking for work. They have used two of my songs in the film and I have also heard that they have used the background music that I composed. They should at least have the etiquette to ask me once and talk to me before using my songs in the film.”
