Hold onto your seats, because Raajneeti fans, it’s official!
Director Prakash Jha is working on the much-anticipated sequel to his political drama Raajneeti — and it looks like the story will pick up right where the first one left off!
But here’s the exciting part: Ranbir Kapoor’s character, Samar Pratap, will be part of the action in Raajneeti 2, even though he was last seen heading abroad in the first film.
Raajneeti 2 Movie Update:
In a recent chat with Mid-Day, Jha dropped some major hints about the sequel’s plot.
While fans have been eagerly waiting to find out how the story unfolds, Jha confirmed that Raajneeti 2 will continue the narrative, diving deeper into the political drama that kept us on the edge of our seats.
“We’re working on the script and it’s shaping up really well. Raajneeti 2 will be a natural extension of the first part,” Jha revealed.
“Though Samar (Ranbir Kapoor’s character) has gone abroad, he will still play a pivotal role in the storyline. We’re building on what we began with the first movie, and it’s going to be just as intense.”
Raajneeti 2 Cast:
When asked about the possibility of bringing back the original cast, Prakash Jha remained non-committal, stating, “I cannot say anything about repeating the cast.”
He candidly explained the evolving dynamics in Bollywood, saying, “There are only a few compelling actors, and most of them are handled by talent agencies. Unlike a decade ago, when you could directly approach an actor, narrate the story, and secure their agreement, today, it’s a completely different ballgame. Actors no longer read scripts themselves; their assistants and managers handle it. To even reach the stars, you have to navigate through multiple layers of management.”
About Raajneeti:
Raajneeti, directed by Prakash Jha, is a modern-day cinematic reimagining of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
The film, featuring an all-star cast that includes Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee, Sarah Thompson, and Naseeruddin Shah, became a massive box office success.
Praised as one of the finest political thrillers in Bollywood, Raajneeti not only captivated audiences with its intense drama but also sparked discussions around power, politics, and family dynamics.
And now, Raajneeti fans have something to look forward to!
There’s growing speculation about the possibility of a sequel, continuing the gripping story that left viewers at the edge of their seats.
Could this sequel live up to the legacy of its predecessor?
Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: If a sequel is in the works, it’s going to be one for the books!
It’s no surprise that Raajneeti, with its power-packed performances and gripping political plot, remains one of Bollywood’s most talked-about films.
The first film left us with so many questions about Samar’s journey, and it looks like the sequel will answer them in a big way.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how Ranbir’s character returns, especially after that shocking conclusion.
Jha also shared that the team is excited to bring Raajneeti 2 to life, with the story already in the works.
While the timeline and exact release date are still under wraps, it’s clear that Raajneeti 2 is going to be a major contender in Bollywood once it’s out.
