In the era of hardcore action films, comedy is trying to make a comeback. And IHNS has exclusively learned that one of the most loved comedies of the 1990s is getting a sequel. Sources close to the development have confirmed to IHNS that Haseena Maan Jayegi 2 is being made.
Scoop: Haseena Maan Jayegi 2 is being made; Farhad Samji will direct
A source close to IHNS told, “Smita Thackeray is keen to make a sequel to ‘Haseena Maan Jayegi’ and its scripting is in full swing. The second part retains the essence of the original film, but the story has been reimagined for today’s audience. She has signed Farhad Samji to write and direct the film.”
The source further revealed that the producers were initially keen to make it with David Dhawan, but the veteran filmmaker was not keen to revisit any of his films after Judwaa and Coolie No. 1. The source further added, “Farhad has come on board after taking David Dhawan’s blessings. Scripting is going on in full swing, and the makers are aiming to start casting by March 2026.”
Haseena Maan Jayegi was directed by David Dhawan and starred Govinda and Sanjay Dutt in the lead roles. For the sequel, the makers will cast two top actors of the current generation, and hope to recreate the magic like the original film.
