Saheb, Biwi… sequel in offing
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.”
