Anil Sharma, to push the shooting of Dharmendra, Sunny, Bobby & Karan starrer Apne 2 to 2022?

With the current state of the covid situation improving, the Maharastra government has announced the re-opening of theatres. Only after this did the filmmakers go on a movie-announcing binge, with a slew of major theatrical releases planned through the end of 2022. While most filmmakers have readily taken this leap of faith in the hope that the third wave will not disrupt their plans. Despite this, director Anil Sharma has chosen to be more cautious and is unsure about shooting Apne 2.

The director, who had planned to shoot Apne 2 — starring Dharmendra, Sunny, Bobby, and Karan Deol — in the United Kingdom this September, has changed his mind. A close source revealed to Pinkvilla,

The film has to be shot across London. Since things have only now begun to open up the world over, Anil thought it would be best to push the project by a few months, and shoot when the situation is more conducive. Another factor influencing his decision was Karan’s prep for the movie. The youngster has to pick up boxing. However, the US-based boxer, who was roped in for his training, has been unable to fly down to India

For those who are unaware, this is the second time the family drama has been postponed. Apne 2 is a sequel to the 2007 box office success Apne. The film was supposed to be released in April of this year, but the second wave of the pandemic thwarted the filmmaker's plans

Sharma confirms the recent plan change, saying, "The film has now been pushed." We will begin filming in March 2022.”
