Amar created quite a sensation on the small screen when he was ‘killed’ and then brought back to ‘life’ in an Ekta Kapoor serial. (Which one? Heck! Who cares? Kyunki they all sound the same anyways.) But now he’s all set to make his debut on the big screen. In fact, he’s got three films lined up for 2003. There’s Raman Kumar’s ‘Wah Wah Ramji’, and Ramsay’s ‘Dhund: The Fog’. And he’s also doing J P Dutta’s ‘LoC’. Considering that few television actors have managed to make it big in Bollywood (except for Shah Rukh and a couple of others, of course), wonder if Amar can do it?

Gadar-Ek Prem Katha, one of a handful of Bollywood period films releasing this summer, tells the story of true love overcoming religious barriers.
SET during the 1947 Partition, one the most traumatic events in Indian history, the film tells the story of Tara Singh a Sikh truck driver (Sunny Deol) and Sakina, a Muslim college girl (Amisha Patel).
The couple meet and become friends, but the tragic circumstances of Partition result in Tara Singh’s family being massacred by Muslims and Sakina being separated from her family during the chaotic rush to flee to the newly formed Pakistan.
