Dharmendra, a resident of Bakania district in Ujjain, spent close to 60 thousand rupees to treat the entire village to a screening of Sunny Deol- Ameesha Patel starrer Gadar 2. This gesture was in honour of his late father, Lakshminarayan, who was a big fan of Sunny Deol. Unfortunately, he passed away before the release of Gadar 2, but Dharmendra ensured his father’s desire was fulfilled. The event featured a DJ, a convoy of motorcycles, and villagers dancing to the tunes of Gadar songs as they gathered to watch the movie. The occasion was marked by the presence of 40 tractors. When the available seats in the local cinema hall fell short, they had to travel 25 kilometers to another venue. Dharmendra has earned the moniker of “Gadar Seth” within the village community.
Veteran actor Dharmendra took to X and wrote, “Dear Dharmendra, give lots of love to the son who gave so much respect to his dear father’s wishes. My dear brother, God rest the soul of your dear father”.
