After almost 20 years of its release, ‘Khakee’, featuring an ensemble cast, is now getting a sequel. Actor-filmmaker Aryeman Ramsay, son of late producer Keshu Ramsay (who backed the original film) confirmed the news in an interview with News18.
According to the portal, Aryeman said, ‘Yes, we are planning a sequel to Khakee. The scripting is on and we have a basic plot in mind.

When asked about the casting of the sequel, Aryeman said, “My family is close to Akshay sir, but unfortunately his character dies in the first part so we can’t feature him. Ajay sir (Ajay Devgn) and Aishwarya’s character also die in the film. I will be initiating talks with Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) as soon as I have a proper script in place. I would also love to have Tusshar Kapoor continue his character in the film. Along with them, we will have a fresh casting. I have had a word with Rajkumar Santoshji and would only want him to direct the sequel.”
