However, Santoshi clarifies that he doesn’t want to make a sequel to his 1994 classic. He insists, “The rights for the film are with me but I don’t want to create an extension to it. That story is there but I have other subjects on that line, the audience should watch that and enjoy that. I would say the new film is even better. It has two heroes and two heroines. It will be a musical comedy. I have tentatively spoken to two actors and actresses for that and they are also very excited for it.” It would be really exciting to see Santoshi get back to his classic comedies. This Diwali is surely going to be brighter because of it.
