Vidyut Jammwal’s Khuda Haafiz 2 likely to go before cameras in April 2021

By: Mohnish Singh

As the sudden onslaught of the Coronavirus pandemic brought everyone’s life to a grinding halt and theatres across the world had to shut their doors for the audience, several filmmakers opted for a direct-to-digital release of their films.


Writer-director Faruk Kabir has no regrets that his film Khuda Hafiz (2020) premiered directly on a streaming media platform, forgoing its theatrical release. “I expected the story to resonate with the youth, but since it released on OTT, people across all age groups reached out to me and told me how the film impacted them,” Kabir tells an online publication.

Toplined by Vidyut Jammwal and Shivaleeka Oberoi, Khuda Haafiz released on August 14, 2020, on Disney+ Hotstar. The film received a good response from critics and went on to do extremely well on the digital platform.

Buoyed up by the overwhelming response from the audience, producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak wasted no time in announcing a sequel to the film. The writer-director says that he always knew that Khuda Hafiz would require a second part.

“The story of Sameer and Nargis remained unfinished at the end of the film. I had once shared the idea of a sequel with Vidyut so that his imagination could take flight. Post the success of the film, Kumarji was eager I carry the journey forward,” he says.

Spilling some beans on the upcoming sequel, Kabir says that he has about three months of writing to do before it goes on the floors in April, 2021. While Khuda Haafiz was majorly shot in Uzbekistan, the sequel might be shot in two different locations, he reveals.

Talking about the bond that he shares with his lead actor, Vidyut Jammwal, the writer-director says, “Our relationship goes beyond films. After a long time, I have found a friend within the industry. Our conversations are never limited to cinema. I want to showcase the depth in his personality on screen. As far as his character in the film goes, the sequel will see him do action sequences, as that is his forte, but only as per the requirement of the character.”

Kanye West slams Kim Kardashian over North West’s music debut with Diddy amid kids' trademark battle

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, has launched a public attack against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, accusing her of blocking their daughter North West from featuring on his new song and taking full control of their children’s trademarks. What began as a disagreement over their daughter’s involvement in Ye’s latest track has spiralled into a fierce battle over parental rights, creative freedom, and the future of their children’s identities.

Ye recently dropped a new track, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine, featuring North West, Sean “Diddy” Combs, King Combs, and Chicago artist Jasmine Williams. However, behind the scenes, Kim reportedly intervened to prevent North’s appearance, allegedly sending legal letters to stop her participation. Kim’s reason? She claims to be protecting North from being associated with Diddy, who is currently facing serious legal charges. But critics argue Kim’s move is less about safeguarding her daughter and more about maintaining control.
