Kaante sequel to be titled Saath

If my dear readers remember, Bollywood Buzz was one of the first blogs to announce Kaante's sequel in the pipeline, way back in Feb 2007. Now we have an update on the sequel.

The sequel, which is going on the floors early 2008, will be entitled Saath.

There's an extremely unusual angle to the follow-up crime caper.

"It will be an original script. Kaante was definitely inspired by Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. But now I'm done with adaptations and rip offs. Saath will be completely original," promises writer-director Sanjay Gupta.

The cast is yet to be finalized. But Suniel Shetty, Aftab Shivdasani, Arjun Rampal and of course Gupta's pal Sanjay Dutt are expected to be part of the Kaante sequel. However, chances of Amitabh Bachchan reappearing in the sequel are dim.

"The problem is, all the protagonists in the original died," confesses Gupta. "So how do we bring the characters back?"

Well in that case, chances are, there will be a large amount of spiritual doctoring in the sequel. A sort of dead-man walking situation with characters from the original being resurrected!
