Mumbai, Feb 21 (.) “Haseena Maan Jayegi” is set to return with a sequel, as the makers gear up to revive one of the most beloved comedies of the 1990s.
“Smita Thackeray is keen to make a sequel to Haseena Maan Jayegi, and the scripting is underway in full swing. The second part retains the essence of the original film, but the story is revamped for today’s audience. She has signed Farhad Samji to write and direct the film,” revealed a source close to the development to Bollywood Hungama.
The source further informed that the makers were earlier keen to make it with David Dhawan, but the veteran filmmaker was not too keen to revisit another film of his after Judwaa and Coolie No. 1. “Farhad has come on board after seeking the blessings of David Dhawan. The scripting is going on in full swing, and the makers aim to move to casting by March 2026,” the source added.
The original film famously featured Govinda and Sanjay Dutt in leading roles, delivering a memorable blend of comic timing and on-screen chemistry. The sequel will reportedly introduce two prominent actors from the current generation in an attempt to recreate the original’s mass appeal.
