Producer Ratan Jain recently confirmed that a sequel to SRK’s 1993 hit Baazigar is underway. The original film features Shah Rukh Khan in one of his most iconic roles & left a lasting impression with its gripping plot twists and unforgettable characters.
Now, nearly 30 years later, the filmmaker has said that Baazigar 2 will happen.
Ratan Jain Says Baazigar 2 Will Happen Only If Shah Rukh Khan Agrees
In an interview with ETimes, Jain shared that he has been in discussions with SRK about the sequel. However, he clarified that nothing is finalised yet.
According to Jain, the sequel will only move forward if Shah Rukh Khan agrees to reprise his role. He stated, “We keep talking to Shah Rukh about Baazigar 2, but not much has happened yet. It will definitely be made.”
Filmmaker Says They’ve An EXCITING Concept For The Sequel
Jain also revealed that they have an exciting concept in mind but are currently focused on developing a compelling script that matches the original’s impact.
For Baazigar 2 to succeed, he believes it needs to maintain the essence of the first film while adding a fresh twist. The 1993 classic established Shah Rukh as a strong anti-hero, breaking away from the romantic roles that dominated Bollywood at the time.
About 1993 Film Baazigar
The original film, directed by Abbas-Mustan, followed the dark journey of Ajay Sharma, a man seeking revenge for his father’s unjust death. The story blurred the lines between good and evil, making it a timeless thriller.
Alongside SRK, the film starred Kajol, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Dalip Tahil, and Johnny Lever, each delivering memorable performances.
Upon its release, Baazigar was a box-office hit, earning Rs 15 cr (net) and Rs 32 cr (gross) in India. It became the fourth highest-grossing Hindi film of 1993 and won several Filmfare Awards, including Best Actor for Shah Rukh Khan. Not to forget, Its success led to remakes in various languages like Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Bengali.
Will Shah Rukh Khan Return To Play Anti-Hero In Baazigar 2?
The news of a sequel raises plenty of questions. Will SRK return to his iconic anti-hero role? And how will the sequel blend nostalgia with contemporary themes?
Jain hinted that Baazigar 2 would tackle modern issues while staying true to the original’s spirit. However, the project will only move ahead if the script lives up to its legacy.
