Sanjay Dutt sprang a surprise by announcing the sequel to his hit film Khalnayak. The film is titled Khalnayak Returns. However, Subhash Ghai who directed the original will not direct it.
Subhash Ghai speaking to scribes shared "Sanju was passionate about making this sequel for years. Even during his time in jail, he had written to me saying, 'Uncle, I want to make this film.' So, I sent him the concept and story. If you ask me, no one can make this film the way I did. However, I don't want to remake my own film; besides, I am 80 now."
He continued "I told Sanju, 'If you are so keen, why don't you produce it yourself, and I can be your creative producer.' I am sure he will find the right director for the film and announce it soon."
He shared "Sanju is like my son, so I will do it for him. I also did one for Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om. I cherish the relationships I have built in the industry over the years. Some distributors stood by me even when some of my films didn't work."
