Subhash Ghai on Khalnayak sequel

Speaking to Bombay Times, Ghai shared insights into how the project came together and why he chose to step back from directing duties. “Sanju was passionate about making this sequel for years. Even during his time in jail, he had written to me saying, ‘Uncle, I want to make this film’. So, I sent him the concept and story. If you ask me, no one can make this film the way I did. However, I don't want to remake my own film; besides, I am 80 now. I told Sanju, ‘If you are so keen, why don't you produce it yourself, and I can be your creative producer’. I am sure he will find the right director for the film and announce it soon.”
