‘Khuda Haafiz’ sequel starts production
The film will roll into its first schedule in Mumbai, followed by another schedule in Lucknow.
Actor Vidyut Jammwal began filming for the sequel to his 2020 action-thriller “Khuda Haafiz”.
Titled “Khuda Haafiz Chapter II Agni Pariksha”, the new movie is backed by Panorama Studios and directed by Faruk Kabir.
The film will roll into its first schedule in Mumbai, followed by another schedule in Lucknow.
Released on Disney+Hotstar last year, “Khuda Haafiz” featured Jammwal as a man who races against time to rescue his kidnapped wife Nargis, played by Shivaleeka Oberoi, from flesh traders.
According to the makers, the sequel depicts an “intense love story” between Jammwal and Oberoi and aims to take the “drama and action to new heights.” Jammwal said the film is an attempt to go beyond on-screen happy endings.
“The sequel is always special as it is a happy validation of what you’ve done in the past. This story resonates with me because every movie has made me wonder what happens after a happy ending.
“‘Khuda Haafiz Chapter II Agni Pariksha’ chronicles a couple’s journey amid the challenges of societal pressure after they’ve traversed over a huge turmoil,” the 40-year-old actor said.
The sequel is produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak and co-produced by Sanjeev Joshi, Aditya Chowksey and Hasnain Hussaini.
The film’s music will be composed by Pritam with lyrics by Irshad Kamil.
