Tezaab 2 in the pipeline

It was possibly the biggest hit of its time. When Tezaab released in 1988, it made history. N Chandra who directed the landmark film now hopes to recreate the magic by making a sequel.

Tentatively titled Tezaab II - Revisited, Chandra hopes to cast Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit yet again in the remake.

“I have just finished scripting and just like the original, I will produce, direct and edit this film.” Chandra says, adding that Tezaab II will take off from where the original ended and will be “a violent and passionate love story targeted at the youth.”

Tezaab did a business of over Rs 20 crore at the box office and launched Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor into instant stardom.

Intriguingly, it was Chandra who started the trend of sequels when he made Excuse Me after Style. For now though, Chandra is busy with the post-production of his latest movie Breaking News, which stars Perizad Zorabian, Atul Kulkarni, and Sanjay Suri among others.

“I will start working on Tezaab II once Breaking News releases,” informs Chandra who plans to approach only big names for this film.

With Madhuri’s much-hyped comeback and Anil Kapoor still holding fort, perhaps this sequel may just be as good as the original, after all.
