We are hoping it continues for &#39;Jannat 2&#39; as well.u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   We are not scared of IPL... but IPL should be scared of us,&quot; he said. Echoing similar sentiments, producer Mukesh Bhatt said, &quot;When IPL came for the first time, we were not afraid to release our film, then why should we be afraid this time?</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   We are sure that our film will captivate audience. Like Emraan said, IPL must be scared of us and not we. We will storm the theatres whatever be the match, &#39;Jannat 2&#39; will be a match-wining team.&quot;u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   &#39;Jannat&#39; was based on betting in cricket, the sequel is about the illegal trading in arms and ammunition. Emraan plays the role of an arms dealer called Sonu Dili KKC.u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   &quot;This is the most entertaining character I have played till date. In 2008, I played Arjun Dixit in &#39;Jannat&#39; and that was by far my favourite character.u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   u00a0</div>  <div id="cke_pastebin">   The character is funnier, more entertaining and has got grey shades, but he is extremely endearing,&quot; Emraan said.
