Apne 2 cancelled after Dharmendra’s demise confirms Anil Sharma: “Without Dharamji, it’s impossible to make the sequel”

admin

The news of Dharmendra’s death has not only left a deep void for his fans, but it has also brought an abrupt end to one of Bollywood’s most nostalgic projects. Director Anil Sharma has confirmed that Apne 2 a film meant to unite three generations of the Deol family will now never be made. Dharmendra, 89, died on November 24 after battling prolonged illness. He had been discharged from Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital just days earlier and was being monitored at home when his condition worsened. Anil Sharma, who had been preparing to direct Apne 2, admitted that the film cannot go ahead now. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he said, “Apne to apno ke bina nahi ho sakti. Without Dharamji, it’s impossible to make the sequel. Everything was on track and the script was ready, but he left us. Some dreams remain unfulfilled. Without him, it’s not possible!”The sequel was planned as a continuation of the 2007 family drama Apne, with Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Karan Deol leading the narrative. Despite being announced years ago, the film never began shooting. Sharma and Dharmendra shared a working relationship spanning multiple films, including Hukumat, Elaan-E-Jung, Farishtay, Tahalka, and Apne. Their reunion with Apne 2 was meant to be another emotional chapter in their partnership one that now remains unfinished. Dharmendra’s last film to release will now be Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan and starring Agastya Nanda. The film arrives in cinemas on December 25, 2025, exactly a month after the actor’s passing. On Monday, the makers shared a tribute poster and wrote, “Fathers raise sons. Legends raise nations. Dharmendra ji, an emotional powerhouse as the father of a 21-year-old immortal soldier. One timeless legend brings us the story of another.”Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday condoled the veteran actor’s death, calling his passing “the end of an era in Indian cinema.” In a post on X, the Prime Minister described the legendary star as an iconic figure whose versatility and screen presence left a deep imprint on generations of filmgoers. He said Dharmendra brought “charm and depth” to every role, making him one of the most beloved actors in Indian film history.

INSIDE SCOOP: The REAL REASON why Aditya Dhar is releasing Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar in two parts

admin

Bollywood Hungama created a stir in the industry by breaking the news that Aditya Dhar and Jio Studios have decided to release their next, Dhurandhar, in two parts. While many refused to believe the news in the beginning, the development is confirmed and has been widely rechecked by several industry sources. And now, we at Bollywood Hungama bring to you the real reason for this decision. Contrary to popular belief, Dhurandhar was always planned as a one-part film; however, Aditya Dhar shot much beyond what was on paper. “The characters and world have a lot of scope, and hence, Dhar shot for all the sequences by his conviction. He thought that he would wrap up the entire film in one part, as all films have the journey of improvisation on the set. However, when he watched the entire footage, it was becoming difficult to wrap up all the conflict in a single film,” a source told Bollywood Hungama. The source also shared, “It’s a film which organically transformed into a two-parter based on the demand of the story. It was in the first week of October that Aditya Dhar and Jio Studios decided to split the film into two parts, as a film of this scale warranted showcasing in the longer format. The film was not designed as a two-parter, but destined to be a two-parter. Both the films will have a proper start, middle and end as every beat of the story is a climax in itself, bringing in an adrenaline rush.” The decision was taken on the edit table, once the entire shoot was wrapped up, as no one knew the impact of the already shot footage until they actually saw it. It was a seamless process to split the story of Dhurandhar into two parts, and the output now is even better. “A one-part film would have looked like a rushed job. The makers are confident that the hook of the first Dhurandhar film will keep the audience waiting for a lot more. The first part will set up the story, and the turmoil, which all explodes in the sequel, will deliver 2x the violence and edge-of-the-seat moments. In a nutshell, with so many exciting characters, it’s a story that can’t be told in a single film.”Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal in lead roles.
