Another blockbuster in the making
The new year is bringing several new projects onto the silver screen. The newest addition to these is the sequel to writer and producer Noman Khan’s action-romance film Sherdil, which released earlier this year in March. Khan stated that he had been contemplating working on a sequel for quite some time.
“Sherdil came to an end at a point that everybody asked me this question and by this time now I have started thinking that I should write something as Sherdil 2”, Khan said. “… but certainly the sequel is going to be totally different as compared to Sherdil and we would just have some of these characters in the beginning because they worked wonderfully well in the movie.”
Khan also stated that Sherdil 2 is to feature an entirely new cast to “keep the audience on their toes and watch that thing from the edge of their seats and enjoy it. So that’s going to be a little different.”
