Sequels, and then some more. That’s what Subhash Ghai is thinking of these days. Almost 27 years after Taal (1999) became a smash hit at the box office, the filmmaker revealed to mid-day that he is crafting its sequel.

Starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshaye Khanna, and Anil Kapoor, the popular musical told the story of a talented village singer who rises to stardom after being heartbroken. So, will the sequel take the story forward? “We cannot have the same actors of Taal today as they are older. So, an extension of the original story is out. But it will be a musical love story. I want fresh faces to play the lead roles,” he said.
