Ever since action-drama Satyameva Jayate hit the screens last year and proved to be a success at the box office, movie buffs have been anticipating a sequel.
The makers have now announced the second instalment to the Satyameva Jayate franchise. Actor John Abraham, who played a vigilante who goes on a corrupt cop-killing spree in the original, is pairing up with actor Divya Khosla Kumar in Satyameva Jayate 2 (SMJ2), to be directed by Milap Zaveri and produced by T-Series, and Emmay Entertainment and Motion Pictures.
Milap says, “SMJ2 is twice the action, emotion, power, patriotism and punch.
Led by John, back as a crusader for justice, and with Divya Khosla Kumar joining the franchise, I hope next Gandhi Jayanti we will be able to provide the audiences with a powerful entertainer that also gives a strong message against corruption.”
John, too, is excited about being part of this venture. “I genuinely enjoyed the story and telling of the original film. I could tell it was a story that the audience will find engaging. With SMJ2, the aim, once again, is to entertain the audience with a story that’s relevant today,” he says.
Divya, who returns to acting after directing two films, says, “I didn’t want to act in a film just for the sake of it. For me, what mattered were the story and the role, and I got the right opportunity with this film.”
Nikkhil Advani of Emmay Entertainment believes the sequel will be an even bigger entertainer. He says, “John and Milap make for a formidable team and we are happy to push the envelope with a project that’s not only for the audiences to enjoy but is socially relevant as well.” Satyameva Jayate 2 produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar (T-Series), Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, Nikkhil Advani (Emmay Entertainment) is set to release on October 2, 2020.
