'Khiladi' sequel on, but without Akshay Kumar

Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) Producer Ratan Jain says he is planning to make a sequel to 1992 superhit film "Khiladi" with a newcomer.

Directed by Abbas-Mustan, the 1992 hit movie "Khiladi" starred Akshay Kumar in the lead role and it also featured Ayesha Jhulka and Deepak Tijori, among others.

"Films that I have made are not too old. I started working in the 1990s, so yes, youth knows about my film. Yes, we are trying various ideas to come up with different films," Jain told IANS.

"I don't know about remake, but we are planning to make a sequel to 'Khiladi'. It's in a very early stage, we are still scripting," added the filmmaker.

Jain, who had worked with Akshay in "Dhadkan" as well, plans to rope in a new face for the movie.

"Most probably we will cast a new comer for the sequel," he said when asked about the cast.
