Anees revealed the reason behind his decision to direct ‘Aankhen 2’. He said, “I think it is a tough job to make a good film… The reason behind making the film is Mr. Bachchan. I have worked with almost all actors but I still considered myself unlucky that I didn’t get a chance to work with Amitji.”

He further added, “‘Aankhen’ was really a good film as it had a tremendous concept. So when Gaurang Doshi came to me with the film I immediately agreed. This time my attempt is to make a bigger and better sequel. It is a big film with a lot of stars and I am one of those few directors who still works with an ensemble star cast.”

‘Aankhen’ was a 2002 heist thriller drama that was directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah had Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Sushmita Sen and Arjun Rampal in leading roles. Now ‘Aankhen 2’ will have Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Ileana D’Cruz and Arjun Rampal in pivotal roles.
