Filmmaker Abhinay Deo had announced in February 2021 that he will be making the sequel of the Amitabh Bachchan film Aankhen, which is reportedly titled Aankhen 2. This film was slated to have Amitabh Bachchan, Sidharth Malhotra, Akshaye Khanna and Sunil Grover. According to reports, the makers of the film were taking too long to begin the shoot of the film. Even though contracts had been signed, due to this delay, Amitabh Bachchan and Sidharth Malhotra decided to opt-out of the film.
The film was set to begin shooting in parts of Uttar Pradesh and Europe. Both actors seemed to have opted out due to their several other projects that are to begin soon. They simply do not have the time for Aankhen 2 due to the delay. Sidharth Malhotra will be soon seen in Mission Majnu and Thank God. Amitabh Bachchan will be soon seen in Chehre and Goodbye, opposite Rashmika Mandanna.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Chehre is a murder mystery that stars Emraan Hashmi and Krystle D’souza and was all set to release in theatres on April 9 but the makers have decided to push the date as the number of covid cases is at an all-time high in India and the country is facing lockdowns in many states.
