Hollywood has had its fair share of sequels -- franchises are known to rake in the moolah with every instalment. And now Indian filmmakers seem to be taking a cue from the former. A wave of sequels will wash over Bollywood this year. And while the cast and story have changed in some of the films, the premise for films such as Bhootnath Returns, Singham 2 and Ragini MMS 2 hasn’t really been meddled with. Here are some of the sequels one can look forward to this year.

'Dedh Ishqiya'

Three years after the original film’s release, director Abhishek Chaubey returns with the sequel on January 10. Here the main characters Babban (Arshad Warsi) and Iftekhar (Naseeruddin Shah) move from Gorakhpur to the town of Nawabs, Mehmoodabad, where they meet Madhuri Dixit’s Begum Para, who holds mushiaras to choose a husband for herself. One will see Madhuri Dixit taking to a gun after Mrityudand. Her character is said to have grey shades in the film. Naseeruddin Shah and Madhuri’s previous outings include Rajkumar and Tridev. Co-produced by Vishal Bhardwaj and Shemaroo, the film also has Huma Qureshi starring opposite Arshad Warsi.
