Anil Kapoor’s 2001 film Nayak became a huge hit when it was first released. Over the years, the film has amassed a cult following among Anil Kapoor’s fans. Now, the latest report claims that Siddharth Anand is all set to make a sequel of the film with Milan Luthria as the director.
“Nayak 2 will be produced by Siddharth and Mamta Anand under their banner, Marflix Pictures. Much like the original film, this one too is a big-scale commercial entertainer set against the backdrop of politics and will be directed by Milan Luthria. The makers have cracked a plot that organically leads itself towards Nayak sequel and has a strong undercurrent of being a vigilante flick,” a source close to the development told Pinkvilla.
“Siddarth Anand has got back the writer-director Jodi of Milan and Rajat together for Nayak 2 and he is excited to embark on the journey of making a one-of-a-kind vigilante-based action entertainer. All the action sequences aside, Nayak 2 is a dialogue and drama-heavy film and the casting is underway. A top A-Lister is expected to come on board the film,” the source added.
Milan Luthria is known for several commercial hits like Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, The Dirty Picture, Taxi Number 9211, and Kachche Dhaage among others. Since Nayak 2 is written by Rajat Arora, this marks a reunion for Rajat and Milan. However, an official announcement of the same is awaited.
Meanwhile, Siddharth Anand’s last project was Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter. The aerial action film was released earlier this year and tonight, it will drop on Netflix. It also features Anil Kapoor, Sanjeeda Shaikh and Karan Singh Grover in key roles. Before Fighter, Siddharth’s Pathaan with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead became a massive blockbuster. It will be interesting to see what he does with Nayak 2.
