Another user, who claimed that he is part of Gadar 2's production, rejected Ameesha Patel's claims. He said, “This is false, everybody got the payment because I am also part of the production..she is spreading the wrong messages. Because she is playing a character role in Gadar2, she is not the heroine. Heroine is Simrat Kaur, star of the future.”
