Subhash Ghai confirms Aitraaz 2

In a recent interview, Subhash Ghai confirmed the sequel film of Aitraaz, which will be based on bold themes. Speaking about the making of Aitraaz 2, Subhash Ghai said that he heard a fantastic script from filmmaker Amit Rai, the writer-director of film OMG 2. He added “We are getting so many calls from various studios that they are interested in making the film. And I must say that Amit again has a big hit script with him at the moment. I really loved it.”

Directed by Abbas-Mustan, Aitraaz was produced by Subhash Ghai in 2004. But the sequel film will be helmed by Amit Rai.

Talking about the plotline of the film, Subhash revealed, “The subject belongs to Amit Rai. He has written another bold issue about today's sex life with new values and new school of thoughts coming in. You can’t expect it to just be a social drama, it has to have some strong and high notes. We are excited to start the film.”

Aitraaz garnered several accolades for Priyanka. Speculating whether the international sensation will be roped in for the sequel film also, the filmmaker revealed that they have a wish list and will see who will be finalised.

He added, “It will be a bold role again which I am sure will get a lot of awards for the actor, as it did for Priyanka. This sequel will be better than Aitraaz.”
