Rakesh Roshan revealed how he discovered the island of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.
He shared that his search initially took him to Australia.
It was then that he discovered Krabi Island.
Bollywood filmmaker Rakesh Roshan launched his son Hrithik Roshan in the 2000 romantic thriller Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, which also marked Ameesha Patel’s debut. While the film’s star cast, story, and music contributed to its massive success, one of its most iconic elements was the breathtaking island where key scenes were filmed. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Roshan revealed how he discovered the stunning location.
Speaking on the Cult Creator Podcast, the director shared that his search for a filming location initially took him to Australia, where he hoped to find a suitable ship.
However, after being disappointed by multiple options, he continued looking. It was then that he came across a postcard in Athens featuring a sailboat and another showing rocks in the sea—Krabi Island. Intrigued, he flew to Phuket and drove four hours to Krabi. “I found the location I had always dreamed of,” he recalled.
Discussing his passion for unique backdrops, Roshan added, “I am very fond of shooting at good locations. When the script is ready, the first thing I do is go and see all the locations. I dream about those locations and will go to every corner of the world to find them.”
Recently, the film was re-released on the big screen, allowing fans to relive the magic on 70 mm.

Sunny Deol has been in the limelight due to the immense success of his recent release, Gadar 2, co-starring Ameesha Patel. The film, directed by Anil Sharma, shattered box office records, becoming the second-highest-grossing film after “Pathaan.” Amidst this success, the longstanding feud between Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan, stemming from their fallout on the sets of Yash Chopra’s 1993 film “Darr,” once again became a topic of discussion.
During an appearance on Rajat Sharma’s show “Aap Ki Adalat,” Sunny Deol discussed the feud with his “Darr” co-star Shah Rukh Khan and his bond with Salman Khan. Regarding the rift with King Khan, Sunny Deol stated, “Those were different times when it happened. I believe people forget what happened back then. One understands such things should not have happened. It was ‘bachpana’ (childish), definitely. After that, Shah Rukh and I met several times and spoke to each other about many things. We also talked about some movies. This time, he was watching my film with his entire family. And he called me up. So everything is fine now.”
Sunny Deol also highlighted his warm relationship with Salman Khan, saying, “Salman and I have a different equation. Obviously, I’m senior to him. When I used to work, he used to come on the set… Always… He had a good bond with Papa (Dharmendra)… And so that give-and-take, which is with very few people, was there. Obviously, it is not that they are my colleagues. I have my bonds with everyone. I am what I am, you may like it or may not like it.”
It’s worth noting that Salman Khan praised “Gadar 2” on social media, writing, “Dhai kilo ka haath equals chalis cr ki opening. Sunny paaji is killing it. Congrats to the entire team of Gadar 2.”
Reports suggest that SRK and Sunny Deol didn’t speak for 16 years after their disagreement over the climax of “Darr.” Sunny had previously mentioned that he had a heated discussion with director Yash Chopra about the film’s ending and even tore his pants in anger. He expressed his concern with “Darr” glorifying the villain character played by SRK, a point he was unaware of.
However, Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan have evidently reconciled, with Sunny inviting SRK to the success party of “Gadar 2” and posing together for photos, signifying their resolution to move past their differences and maintain a friendly relationship. Currently, Shah Rukh Khan is basking in the massive success of his recent release, “Jawan,” directed by Atlee, while Sunny Deol is enjoying the success of Anil Sharma’s “Gadar 2.”

The film’s success has brought immense joy to the Gadar 2 team, which also includes Utkarsh Sharma, Gaurav Chopra, Manish Wadhwa, and Simrat Kaur, among others.

She wrote, “I literally had an ‘Aankhon mein teri Ajab si ajab si adaayein hain’ moment yesterday night seeing the king of hearts @iamsrk sir… ‘Dreams do come true.'”

Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel‘s film, Gadar 2, has achieved tremendous success, nearing the Rs 500 crore milestone. While audiences have showered the film with love for its storyline, nostalgic elements from the original Gadar, and the lead pair’s chemistry, Ameesha Patel finds herself in a dispute with the film’s director, Anil Sharma. Initially, Ameesha expressed her hesitance to join Gadar 3 unless her and Sunny’s characters, Tara and Sakeena, received substantial screen time. In response, the director remained unfazed, asserting Sakeena’s character originated from his heart, not hers. Ameesha has now responded to these comments, shedding light on their strained relationship.
Ameesha Patel revealed that her differences with Anil Sharma date back to the first Gadar film, though they still consider each other family. She clarified that the character of Sakina was conceived by the writer Shaktimanji, not by Sharma. Her decision to do the film was primarily for Sunny Deol and Zee Studios, as Sharma initially favored Mamta Kulkarni and Govinda for the lead roles.
Regarding unresolved payments, Ameesha disclosed her tweets about the matter, which Anilji requested she delete. She has evidence of his request in their chat. She also mentioned removing tweets related to actress Simrat Kaur, a part of the film. Ameesha clarified that she deleted them at Sharma’s behest, emphasizing their familial connection. Ameesha noted having communication from the Zee Studios team expressing surprise at Sharma’s handling of the film’s production, although these concerns were later resolved by Zee. She also mentioned having videos of Sharma making commitments to her that he didn’t fulfill. If approached for Gadar 3, Ameesha would only consider it if her character Sakina plays a significant role alongside Tara, similar to their roles in Gadar 1. She expressed sympathy for Anilji’s efforts to promote his son Utkarsh in Gadar 2, acknowledging him as a sweet boy and hoping prominent industry figures start recognizing his talent.

The film Gadar 2, featuring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma, has left a significant mark on the box office since its premiere on August 11. It rapidly crossed the noteworthy threshold of Rs 400 crore in India, making it the second-fastest Hindi film to attain this achievement. Alongside its captivating action sequences and the cast’s performances, the movie’s music played a pivotal role in its triumph. The integration of iconic songs from the original film, released 22 years ago, evoked a sense of nostalgia and entranced the audience. Particularly, two tracks from Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, namely ‘Udd Ja Kaale Kaava’ and ‘Main Nikla Gaddi Leke,’ were reimagined for the sequel. However, Uttam Singh, the music composer of the 2001 film, has now accused the creators of utilizing his work without his consent.
In a conversation with Amar Ujala, music director Uttam Singh expressed his discontent about the unapproved usage of his songs and background music in Gadar 2. He conveyed, “They didn’t approach me for Gadar 2, and I’m not in the habit of seeking work myself. They have incorporated two of my songs in the film, and I’ve also come to know that they’ve used the background music that I composed. At the very least, they should have the courtesy to contact me and discuss before employing my songs in the film.”
The film’s music has been composed by Mithoon and encompasses a blend of both old and new songs. ‘Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava’ has been reimagined with the original voices of Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, presenting a romantic melody visualized with Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel. Conversely, ‘Main Nikla Gaadi Leke’ exudes a lively atmosphere as Sunny, Ameesha, and Utkarsh groove to its spirited beats, sung by Udit Narayan and Aditya Narayan. Additionally, the soundtrack introduces fresh songs like Arijit Singh’s ‘Khairiyat’ and ‘Dil Jhoom,’ as well as Neeti Mohan and Vishal Mishra’s ‘Chal Tere Ishq Mein.’
Esteemed Pakistani actor Moammar Rana recently shared an interesting story about his meeting with global sensation Priyanka Chopra at an event. During a conversation with host Nadir Ali, Rana also openly expressed his appreciation for Indian actress Ameesha Patel. Through his comments, Rana provided insight into his interactions with these Bollywood figures and his perspective on beauty.
Rana recounted a memorable incident involving his encounter with the former Miss World at an event. He confessed to having a crush on the global icon, but his perception of her changed unexpectedly after their meeting. While seated at the event, Rana initially did not recognize her celebrity status. As he engaged in conversation with others, he noticed a woman sitting beside him.
Unaware of her identity, Rana found himself adjusting his position multiple times, unsure of where to sit comfortably. Eventually, the woman stood up and left. Intrigued, Rana asked about her, only to discover that it was none other than the global superstar Priyanka Chopra.
“I didn’t know, we were sitting,” began Rana, “And a woman came and sat on the side. We were talking amongst ourselves. I moved forward and backward, wondering where I should go. She got up and left after a while. I inquired about who she was. The person I asked said, ‘You didn’t recognize her?!’ I said no. Turns out, it was Priyanka Chopra who was seated. My whole crush on her – ” The actor paused, using gestures to convey the impact of the brief interaction on his admiration for her, indicating that his crush had diminished. Ali, attempting humor, likened Chopra to “black salt,” which garnered laughter from Rana. In response, the legendary star playfully exclaimed, “To hell with you all,” in a light-hearted manner.
The conversation then shifted to Rana’s admiration for Ameesha Patel, whom he described as genuinely beautiful. He openly discussed his perception of her beauty, particularly highlighting her facial features as a significant factor. When asked about what makes her beautiful, Rana pointed to his own face, emphasizing the importance of facial attributes in her charm.
The host teased Rana, playfully suggesting there might be more to Patel’s beauty. With a smirk, the host sang the lyrics of “Chehra Kya Dekhte Ho,” implying a deeper meaning. This prompted Rana to nod in agreement. The song’s lyrics questioned why people focus on appearance when love resides in the heart, while Ali pointed to his chest. Both men shared a laugh, with Rana adding, “Shall I tell you everything?”
However, this interaction between Nadir Ali and Moammar Rana has sparked controversy online. Many individuals expressed their dissatisfaction with the host’s comments. Ali has faced criticism for his remarks in the past as well, notably when he questioned model Sunita Marshall’s faith, leading to an apologetic statement from him.

The film Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, has been experiencing a remarkable and thriving journey at the box office, having already achieved the status of a blockbuster. The film’s second-weekend performance set an unprecedented record, while also garnering significant adoration from the audience. However, Ameesha Patel recently disclosed that when she was initially approached for the movie, numerous individuals, including those from the industry, her acquaintances, and even her family, had advised her against taking up the project.
The film industry and theatres were profoundly affected by the pandemic, leading to uncertainties about moviegoer behaviour. In a discussion with an Indian publication, Ameesha Patel shared that there were doubts about whether Gadar 2 would succeed given the circumstances. She stated, “When Gadar 2 was under production, many people had written off Gadar 2 just like they did during the release of Gadar 1. There’s too much similarity that happens I think when it comes to the brand Gadar. And many questioned, ‘Will people go?'” Ameesha remembered being told that the era of cinema was fading, and that audiences would opt to watch content on OTT platforms for free from the comfort of their homes.
She mentioned that some individuals also predicted that Gadar 2 might attract a few viewers due to curiosity about Tara and Sakina’s lives. Nevertheless, they advised her not to expect Gadar 2 to replicate the success of the original Gadar. “This was said by people within the industry and outside it. Even friends and family told me this. I know that a lot of people had doubts and stuff,” shared Ameesha. Despite these uncertainties, Gadar 2 has been receiving overwhelming appreciation from the audience. Karan Johar also praised the film’s blockbuster success, emphasizing its significance even after over two decades since the release of the first instalment.
Actress Ameesha Patel is currently basking in the remarkable success of her recent blockbuster, Gadar 2. Returning to her cherished role as Sakeena after 22 years, she has once again captured the hearts of audiences. Her on-screen chemistry with Sunny Deol stands as a significant highlight of the film. The iconic songs recreated from the original have also evoked a sense of nostalgia. This triumph is reminiscent of her experience when the first instalment of Gadar hit screens in 2001, marking only her second Hindi film. Ameesha Patel recently recounted an intriguing incident from that time after the release of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, where she shared how acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali advised her to retire after witnessing the film’s impact.
In a candid interview with an Indian publication, the stunning actress delved into how her life underwent transformation post the releases of “Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai” and “Gadar.” She recounted a moment involving Sanjay Leela Bhansali, known for his directorial works like “Devdas” and “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.” In 2001, after viewing the original Gadar, Bhansali penned a heartfelt letter of praise to Ameesha Patel. During a subsequent meeting, he candidly advised her to retire. Ameesha shared, “After watching Gadar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali wrote a really beautiful complimentary letter to me, and when I had a meeting with him, he said ‘Ameesha, you should retire now.’ I was like ‘why?’ I didn’t understand.”
Continuing, Ameesha revealed Bhansali’s reasoning, “He said, ‘Because you have already achieved in two films which most people don’t achieve in their entire career. Once in a lifetime a ‘Mughal-e-Azam,’ ‘Mother India,’ ‘Pakeezah,’ ‘Sholay’ get made, you had it in your second film, so what next?’ I didn’t understand it at that time because I was a kid, I was so new to the film world (to know) what he meant by setting the bar high.” Over time, Ameesha came to realize the implications of his words as all her subsequent films, whether successful or not, were consistently measured against the benchmark of Gadar, which posed a challenge for her.
Gadar 2 has grossed over Rs 200 crore at the box office. Fans wanted more screen time for Tara Singh and Sakeena.

The connection shared between two actors often goes beyond the cinematic realm, as demonstrated by Pakistani actor Imran Abbas, who recently extended his congratulations to his longtime friend and Indian star Ameesha Patel for the success of her latest movie, Gadar 2. This heartening interaction not only underscores their enduring friendship but also emphasizes that camaraderie within the entertainment industry transcends national borders.
On Instagram, Imran conveyed his sentiment by writing, “So happy for you, Ameesha,” along with tagging the Gadar 2 star in his Instagram Story. This uncomplicated yet deeply meaningful message resonated with their fans, showcasing the genuine support and bond between the two actors.
However, in response to queries from critics, Imran Abbas clarified, “I am happy for her comeback since she is my very dear friend. People are misinterpreting it to troll me because Gadar 2 is an anti-Pakistan subject.”
Imran Abbas and Ameesha became the centre of attention in 2022 when a viral video sparked speculations about a romantic relationship between them. Nonetheless, it was clarified that their friendship story dates back years, originating when they were fellow students in the United States. While pursuing their academic aspirations, they formed a strong connection that has endured the test of time. Their deep bond was once again in the spotlight when they were seen together in Bahrain, rekindling their friendship in a heartwarming reunion.
Ameesha dismissed rumors about them dating, telling Hindustan Times, “I read them too and had a huge laugh about it. The whole thing is just crazy and full of silliness. I was meeting my buddy after so many years. So, it was just a catch-up.” The actor of “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai” also discussed the aforementioned viral video, which she later shared on her Instagram. “He happens to love that song of mine. It’s his favourite song… We just did an impromptu thing, which was recorded by a friend. It came out so cute, so we posted it. It was not planned,” she further explained.
Further elaborating on their relationship, Ameesha stated, “We have known each other for many years, since the time I studied with him at a university in the US. And I have stayed in touch with most of my friends in Pakistan, who just love India. Imran Abbas belongs to the film industry there, and we have a lot more to talk about.” The stars continue to support one another long after their initial reunion.
