Vipul Amrutlal Shah's heist thriller
Aankhen released sixteen years earlier,
in 2002. The film starred Amitabh
Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal,
Arjun Rampal and Sushmita Sen and was
a hit. A sequel to the film was announced
in 2016 by the original producer
Gaurang Doshi but due to legal troubles,
the project will be produced by Rajtaru
Studios and Eros International and will
be directed by Anees Bazmee.
Speculations about the star cast have
been rife for quite some time and the
names of various actors have been
floating around. However, one thing is
clear that Amitabh Bachchan has been
roped in to play the main lead in the film.
A leading daily reported, "Amit ji liked
the script and has given his nod to the
project. Anees has begun prep and will
start shooting in 2019. The team is
targeting an early 2020 release. The
daily also reported that Sushant Singh
Rajput and Vicky Kaushal are in the
running for the other two lead roles
along with Jackie Chan.

The daily reported, "Since the story
revolves around a casino this time
owned by a Chinese, the makers are
considering Jackie Chan for the part.
Chan has already collaborated with a few
Indian actors and was in India in 2016
to shoot for his adventure-comedy Kung
Fu Yoga. The film also featured Sonu
Sood, Disha Patani, and Amyra Dastur.
Aankhen was based on Vipul's Gujarati
play Andhalo Pato (Blindman's Buff). The
film revolved around Amitabh's character
a hard-working but temperamental man
who spends his life working at a bank
but is fired when, in a fit of rage, he
beats up a colleague. In order to take
revenge for his insult, he decides to rob
the bank with the help of three blind
men, played by Akshay, Arjun, and
Paresh. Sushmita plays a blind instructor
who trains the three men for the heist.
