MUMBAI: Viacom18 Motion Pictures has decided to release Tigmanshu Dhulia‘s next film Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns on 8 March, next. It was in the same weekend this year that the distribution house released Sujoy Ghosh‘s scene stealer Kahaani.
The unit of the film, that is 90 per cent ready, is shooting the balance portions at a rapid pace.
The film stars Irrfan Khan, Jimmy Shergill, Soha Ali Khan and Mahie Gill.
MUMBAI: Just under two weeks of its release, the makers of Saheb Biwi
Aur Gangster have already thought of a sequel to the film, likely to go on the floors early next year.
Though Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster released a week after the Shahid Kapoor-Sonam Kapoor-starrer Mausam (23 Sept), the film made box office magic elbowing out the latter.
Commenting on the sequel, producer Sunil Bohra said: “We never expected this kind of appreciation for Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster. We’ve decided to launch a sequel right away. Why wait? At the moment, the excitement is fresh for both the crew and the audience.”
