'Gadar 2' that released in theatres on August 11 has created a tsunami at the box office. It has already crossed the Rs 400 crore mark and still running successfully. The Sunny Deol starrer is the sequel to the 2001 blockbuster 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'. From the story to the dialogue and the music, everything about 'Gadar 2' is loved by the audience. Two songs from the previous films are recreated in the sequel. Uttam Singh who had composed the music of 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' has now reacted to the recreation of his songs.
Uttam had originally composed the original songs, 'Main Nikla Gaddi Leke' and 'Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava', which were recreated by music director Mithoon for 'Gadar 2'. Now, in an interview with Amar Ujala, Uttam expressing his disdain, said in Hindi that the makers didn’t call him for 'Gadar 2' and he doesn’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,'' he said.

Thank you.”
