Taal 2 script is almost ready: Subhash Ghai
India, April 26 -- Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, 80, has announced that Taal 2, a sequel to thew 1999 cult classic featuring Akshaye Khanna, Aishwraya Rai Bachchan and Anil Kapoor is on cards. "Uska poora script hum almost complete kar chuke hain aur abhi hum soch rahe hain yeh sahi samay hai, maybe we should make it," he tells us. Talking about the lasting appeal of Taal, he adds, "Uss film ki jo energy hai. aaj ke Gen-Z bhi mujhe bol rahe hain Taal banaiye." Still, he remains cautious: "The easier the subject seems, the more difficult it is." Ghai also underlines that casting will be crucial, noting, "In order to make it, purity is very important," recalling how Aishwarya and Akshaye brought freshness to the original.
At the same time, another Ghai classic is being revived with a darker twist, a sequel to Khal Nayak (1993). Titled Khalnayak Returns, actor Sanjay Dutt, 66, unveiled the film's first look on Friday and wrote on Instagram: "Kuch kahaani khatam nahin hoti. woh dobara shuru hoti hai."
The sequel marks a significant shift, with Ghai giving Dutt the rights to take the story forward. The actor, who has long been attached to the film, has shared that the idea of revisiting Khal Nayak first came during his time in jail, in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.
Reflecting on that phase, Sanjay said, "In jail, nearly 4,000 inmates said they'd watch a sequel." He even had them write ideas: "Each gave a one-page story. it took time to read all." Later on parole, he showed them to Ghai, who said, "It should be made."...
