    Naseeruddin, Irrfan in double roles for Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro 2

    MUMBAI: The first installment of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, a satirical take on the ongoing corruption during the early 80s, still remains a cult. Attempting to recreate the impact once again is Kundan Shah, who is currently working on the sequel to the same tentatively titled Hum Honge Kamyab.

    Veteran star and the lead actor of the prequel, Naseeruddin Shah, who played a professional photographer, will be seen with Irrfan Khan who will play the fellow photographer just like late Ravi Biswani in the first one.

    The sequel too is said to be a satirical take on the latest scams within the country and director Kundan Shah promises that it will be as hard-hitting and non-sparring as his previous film. This film will also have Naseer and Irrfan in double roles and one of their characters is said to resemble the new RBI governor Raghuram Rajan.

    The film is slated to go on floor in March 2014.
