Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff starrer Khal Nayak is one of the cult classic films. Right from songs to storyline, fans loved every aspect of the film. And who could forget Sanjay Dutt's powerful performance as Ballu? It has left a mark on the audience's minds. However, in a thrilling update, veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai has confirmed that a sequel to his iconic 1993 blockbuster is in development. The news has sparked a wave of excitement across social media.
Filmfare has a source from the industry saying, 'Subhash ji is excited about staging a sequel to Khal Nayak. The story will be based on new characters played by newcomers. But add the original appeal, with Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt might be roped in for special roles. It's a project in the making right now, but Subhash ji and his team are very excited about this project."
Earlier, it was reported that Subhash Ghai has completed the script for Khalnayak 2. The director, known for the original film starring Sanjay Dutt, is currently in discussions with a few promising young actors for the role of the iconic character, Ballu Balram. According to Ghai has finalised the script for the film. While it remains uncertain if Sanjay Dutt will return for the sequel, Ghai is eager to cast a young actor as Ballu Balaram. That apart, he is also considering popular actors from the South for the role.
Not long back, Subhash Ghai had told Etimes, 'The truth is I am not looking for actors to play Ballu Balram but a younger actor to play a new character in Khalnayak 2 who will be pitted against Ballu Balram who is 55 years old man now. Ballu will be played Sanjay Dutt only. Like Al Pacino played in Godfather 2 and Marlon Brando played Godfather 1."
The source close to the development told 'Subhash Ghai wants to approach actors like Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor for the character of Ballu Balram. In fact, he isn't sticking to just Bollywood. Allu Arjun and Yash are also in his list and he wants to approach them as well. He just wants someone who would be able to take the legacy of Ballu Balaram forward."
Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and Anupam Kher all starred in 'Khalnayak'. They got together last year to celebrate the movie's 30th anniversary. The film faced controversies when it was released. The song 'Choli Ke Peechay Kya Hai' from the movie was very popular and was also used in the 2024 film 'Crew'.
The 1993 film revolved around a guard from the prison pretending to be a dancer to catch an escaped criminal, Balaram Prasad alias Ballu, and help her police inspector boyfriend.
