Speaking to me exclusively, tall, smart star-actor Luv Sinha ( son of iconic senior actor Shatrughan Sinha) who has played the cameo role in ‘Gadar-2 said. “ The full credit for the super-success of Gadar-2 goes to director Anil Sharma and the entire team.  We are grateful to Dr. Yogesh Lakhani-jee for inviting us and honoring us. For me this is a beginning, there is a lot more I have to achieve in life.  Although I played a cameo role in Gadar-2, I am delighted that my performance has been well-appreciated It was a gamble on my part, because no one anticipated in advance that the film would be such a huge mega-hit.  My thought process is that if you are part of the cast of a big film like ‘Gadar2, you are assured of exposure and visibility. For actors it's always better to play a small part in a big film which everyone watches, rather than play a big role in a movie which hardly anyone watches,” explains talented actor Luv Sinha who was previously seen in multi-starrer movies like Sadiyaan directed by Raj Kanwar and J P Dutta’s  Paltan. The multi-talented Luv Sinha also daringly contested the Bihar Legislative Assembly elections in 2020. .  .
