On August 27, 2024, Baadshah celebrated its 25th anniversary. The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, remains a fan favourite and continues to be a popular hit on satellite television. Released in 1999, Baadshah has earned its spot in Bollywood history with unforgettable performances and catchy music.
Sequels to classic films have become a trend in Bollywood, with Gadar 2 (2023) proving to be a massive success, following the success of Gadar (2001). Similarly, the highly anticipated Border 2 is already making waves. On the occasion of Baadshah’s silver jubilee, Ratan Jain from Venus Records And Tapes Pvt Ltd talked about the potential for a sequel.
Here’s What Ratan Jain Said
Jain revealed to Bollywood Hungama, “I keep talking to Shah Rukh and we discuss what should we do next. But the first sequel I’d like to make with Shah Rukh is Baazigar 2, followed by Baadshah 2.”
Baazigar (1993) was a milestone in Shah Rukh Khan’s career, marking his first collaboration with Venus and directors Abbas-Mustan. The film was a huge success and significantly boosted Khan’s career. After Baazigar, Khan worked with Venus on Yes Boss (1997) and Josh (2000), further solidifying their partnership.
Filmmaker Says Baazigar 2 Will Be Made Only With Shah Rukh Khan
When asked about the plot for a potential Baazigar sequel, Jain admitted, “No, but we keep discussing it. The day we get the right subject and director, we’ll make the sequel. And of course, it will be made only with Shah Rukh. And he has supported the idea. But as I said, we need to get the correct idea. The times are such that agar film karein, toh bahut acchi karein. Nahin toh na karein.”
In addition to discussions, Jain also spoke about his other upcoming projects. There have been reports about a sequel to Kapil Sharma’s debut film Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015). Jain confirmed that work is underway on the sequel. “There are some films in the pipeline. We are planning a sequel to Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. That hopefully should go on floors soon. We are in talks with Akshay Kumar,” Jain said.
