A refreshing change compared to all the reboots across the board nowadays. This didn’t take away from the difficulty of adding an installment to a cult classic.<\/p>\n

The O21<\/em><\/strong> actor revealed that director Aamir Yousuf is really switching things up with the sequel. While it will be a sit-com like the original, they opted for more outdoor shoots. He described the director as a ‘perfectionist<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a gem, calm and focused towards his craft. He is a perfectionist; knows his work and what he requires from his actors.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The approach, are characters are entirely different. In a good way though as the cases are much more relevant to the current audience.<\/p>\n

Rather than Punjab Police the last time around, the Andhera Ujala<\/em><\/strong> sequel Janbaaz<\/em><\/strong> is about an inclusive Sindh police. That is why the characters include Pasthun, Punjabi, Sindhi, and Urdu speaking people.<\/p>\n

“All the characters have different lingo, personality traits and stand on their own.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
