Development
Zee Studio, Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma officially announced Gadar 2: The Katha Continues on 15 October 2021 (Dusshera) on their social media accounts, revealing the release date 2022 with a motion poster. The first poster of the sequel titled ‘Gadar 2’ was unveiled on 26 January 2023 (Republic Day) and it shows Tara Singh, played by Sunny, with a hammer.

Casting
As before, Deol was offered the role of Tara Singh. Patel was offered the role of Tara Singh’s wife, Sakeena role. Sharma was offered for role of Charanjeet “Jeete” Singh.
Nimrat Khaira was offered the role of Charanjeet Singh’s love interest, Muskaan, in September 2021. Khaira rejected the offer in wake of the 2020–2021 Indian farmers’ protest. She also stated that Zee Studio and Bollywood opposed the farmers’ protest, so she will not work in any film offered by Bollywood. After Khaira turned down the role, Simi Chahal was offered the same role, but she also rejected it due to the protests. During an interview in May 2022, Shipra Goal said that she was offered the role of Ghadar 2 after Chahal but also declined. Wamiqa Gabbi also rejected the role of Muskaan. Kainaat Arora is said to have flatly refused the role of Gadar 2. Eventually, the makers brought in Simrat Kaur for the role. Manish Wadhwa was offered the role of a Pakistani army general in the film. Rohit Choudhary was also cast in the role of a Pakistani army general in the film. Luv Sinha and Gaurav Chopra have also been cast in important roles.
