If reports are to be believed, yet another sequel to a popular Bollywood film is on the cards. According to sources, filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, who last directed one of the best films of 2018 – Andhadhun – is planning a sequel to his critically and commercially successful thriller Johnny Gaddaar (2007).
However, the makers will not name it Johnny Gaddaar 2 due to copyright issues. If the project materializes, it will be called Monica...Oh, My Darling and will have a retro feel to it, just like most of Raghavan’s films.
Talking to an Indian daily, a source reveals, “It is a new subject and the film is called Monica...Oh, My Darling. The film has a retro feel to it, just like how all of Sriram Raghavan’s subjects are. Producer Sheel Kumar, who has backed films like Pink (2016), will be spearheading the project.”
As far as the direction of the film is concerned, fans may feel a little disheartened to know that Sriram Raghavan will not helm it. He will pass the directorial baton to some other director. He may, however, co-produce it.
Johnny Gaddaar launched the acting career of Neil Nitin Mukesh and was one of the most successful films of 2007. It has gained a cult following over the years. It will be really interesting to see if its sequel matches up to its huge popularity among cinephiles.

Charli XCX is swapping stadium lights for the cinema glow, and everyone’s already buzzing. Her new A24 film, The Moment, just dropped a cast list that has people talking. With Kylie Jenner and Alexander Skarsgård in the cast, this movie looks set to crash right through the usual pop star movie expectations. The promise is a look behind the sparkle, showing the mess, giving us the real underbelly of the music world.

What’s the plot of The Moment?
It’s Charli playing, well, a pop star, trying to keep her head above water as she is sucked into the vortex of fame and pressure. She’s prepping for her first arena tour, dodging the industry sharks and probably a crisis or three. It’s all a bit meta here. Charli’s been through the whole thing already; the chaos, the lights, the late nights. She’s seen what fame looks like when the glitter fades. It started with Charli tossing out an idea, half-formed, then Aidan Zamiri and Bertie Brandes shaped it into something that actually breathes.
This cast is like someone spun a wheel of celebrities. Kylie Jenner’s making her big acting debut, Skarsgård and Arquette bring that serious actor energy, and then you have comedy geniuses Rachel Sennott and Kate Berlant to stir things up. Add in a squad of models, artists, and Charli’s long-time music partner A. G. Cook, who’s handling the soundtrack, obviously. Huge? That’s an understatement.

When will The Moment be released?
2026 is the target, so we need to wait. They have got time to make it weird, wonderful, or both. Charli’s calling the shots under her Studio365 label, and you can tell. Every part of it seems to carry her touch: the look, the sound, the attitude. It’s a big jump for her, crossing into film like this. Whether it lands as something great or gets people arguing about it, it’s not going to slide by quietly.
