Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who gave Indian cinema iconic films has all eyes on him as he is set to make the sequel to the 1993 film ‘Khalnayak’. Ballu Balram, played by Sanjay Dutt was one the strongest characters that remains fresh in the audience’s even today. It is now being learned that Ghai has finished scripting the sequel for the film and is on the lookout for its lead character.
A source informs mid-day.com that Shubhash Ghai is in the process of finalising the cast. With the legacy of the original film from 1993 looming large, there`s immense pressure on any actor stepping into the shoes of Ballu Balram. That being said, will a seasoned Hindi star known for their versatility, a fresh face ready to make their mark, or perhaps a renowned actor from the South be approached for the role is the question.
