In a recent chat with ETimes, filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who directed the original Khalnayak in 1993, shared, “Yes, the script is complete now and the rest of the cast and technicians will soon be finalized.”

Earlier, a source informed Filmfare that the director is excited about Khalnayak’s sequel. The report added that the film will also have newcomers playing the lead roles. However, Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt will be cast for cameo appearances. The project is already in the works. 

Meanwhile, back in 2024, Subhash Ghai opened up about rumors of recasting Ballu and clarified that Sanjay Dutt will only play the iconic role. He said that he isn't looking for actors to play Ballu Balram but young actors to play new roles in the sequel. The filmmaker added that the young cast will be pitted against Ballu (played by Sanjay). 

For the unversed, Khal Nayak has become a cult classic over the years. The 1993 film became a major hit upon its release with Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, and Jackie Shroff in key roles.
