Sunny Deol Reprises Ghatak Role in New Santoshi Film
Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol are planning another movie together.
It is called Ghatak Ghus Ke Maarega.
Sunny Deol will play the same character connected to the older movie Ghatak.
However, Santoshi says it will tell a completely new story and is not a sequel.
The film is expected to have lots of action, strong dialogue and emotional moments.
Santoshi and Deol are also discussing two or three other movies.
One possible movie would feature Deol as a sardar in America.
Santoshi said he will not direct Jaat 2 because he does not want to make sequels.
He is also working on Ada Apni Apni, a new comedy-adventure film that is not a sequel to Andaz Apna Apna.
Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol are developing the action drama Ghatak Ghus Ke Maarega.
Deol will play the same character associated with the 1996 film Ghatak, but Santoshi says the new film is not a sequel.
Santoshi said the film will feature full-fledged action, powerful dialogue and emotion, with a formal announcement expected soon.
The filmmaker said two or three other projects with Deol are in development, including an action drama featuring him as a sardar in America.
Santoshi said he is not directing Jaat 2 and is developing Ada Apni Apni, a separate comedy-adventure film inspired by the world of Andaz Apna Apna.
