Is Sunny Deol gearing up for 'Ghatak 2' ?

Back in the ’90s, Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi teamed up for three films — Ghayal (1990), Damini (1993) and Ghatak: Lethal (1996) — all of which went on to become superhits. However, the duo had a fallout when they both decided to make movies on Bhagat Singh — Santoshi helmed The Legend Of Bhagat Singh (2002) while Sunny bankrolled 23 March 1931: Shaheed the same year. The two never worked together again. Now, 16 years later, they have buried the hatchet and are reuniting for a project.

GHATAK 2 ON THE CARDS

While Sunny himself directed the sequel to Ghayal (Ghayal Once Again), we hear that he’s currently in talks with Santoshi to turn Ghatak into a franchise. Says a source close to the actor, “Sunny is creatively involved with the process and has found a story that will work as the second part to the original. It’s again an action film starring him in the lead and will have the same David vs Goliath theme.” Producer Sajid Qureshi, who made Nanu Ki Jaanu starring Sunny’s cousin Abhay Deol, is backing this project. “The modalities are being worked out. The director and the actor are having regular meetings to fine-tune the script. But everything is being closely guarded for now.” 

TWO OTHER FILMS

The Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani director also has a few other scripts that he has offered the Yamla Pagla Deewana star. “They have been in talks to do a period drama called Fateh Singh but that will take some time to take off. 

Another movie that Santoshi plans to revisit with Sunny is his dream project titled Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, O Jamyai Nai based on the Indo-Pak Partition. But Ghatak 2 is likely to roll out first.”
