Mumbai, Nov 27 (NationPress) In a wave of relief for fans of the late Dharmendra, producer Deepak Mukut has officially confirmed that the much-anticipated film ‘Apne 2’ is indeed moving forward, serving as a heartfelt tribute to the legendary actor.

The original ‘Apne’ showcased the Deol family, featuring Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol, and has been the focus of much speculation following the passing of Dharmendra. This sequel holds significant emotional resonance for the late actor.

Deepak Mukut emphasized, “It’s time to quash the unverified rumors. ‘Apne 2’ is NOT abandoned. This project is progressing with absolute dedication. We have been working diligently behind the scenes, and there has never been any intention to halt it. ‘Apne 2’ is not only on course but is also one of the most emotionally impactful endeavors from our production house.”

He further added, “‘Apne’ was deeply intertwined with Dharamji. His spirit, warmth, and all that he embodied made the film what it was. ‘Apne 2’ is very dear to me. In many respects, this film will serve as a shradhanjali, a sincere tribute to Dharamji. We aspire to honor him, his principles, and the emotional realm he established with the Deol family on screen.”

The sequel, initially announced with Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Karan Deol, has been undergoing creative adjustments, yet the fundamental goal remains steadfast: to uphold the emotional legacy of one of Hindi cinema’s most cherished family narratives.
