The Classic Returns
The 1993 blockbuster Khalnayak, starring Sanjay Dutt, is one of the most iconic films in his career. The movie not only became a massive hit but also earned Sanjay Dutt the title of Bollywood’s Khalnayak (Villain). Now, new updates have surfaced about the sequel to this cult classic.
Sequel Plans Confirmed
According to a report published in Mid-Day, a sequel to Khalnayak is indeed being planned. The story of the new film will reportedly pick up right where the original ended. Sanjay Dutt will reprise his memorable role as Ballu Balram, marking his return as one of Bollywood’s most famous antiheroes.
The studio backing the project is expected to make an official announcement on October 21. However, further details about the cast, crew, or storyline remain under wraps for now.
Subhash Ghai Will Not Direct the Sequel
While the original Khalnayak was directed by veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai, he has confirmed that he will not be directing the sequel himself. Ghai cited his age as the main reason, saying that although he won’t be sitting in the director’s chair, he will still be creatively involved in the project.
He mentioned that he is ready to provide creative input and guidance whenever required. Over the years, several studios had approached Ghai for the Khalnayak IP, and now, he has officially handed over the rights to a major studio.

Plans for a “Khalnayak Universe”
Interestingly, the studio is not only planning a sequel but also intends to build an entire “Khalnayak Universe.” Much like how Bollywood has developed spy and horror universes, this new franchise will expand the Khalnayak world with interconnected stories and characters.
The goal is to create a cinematic world that celebrates antiheroes and morally complex characters, inspired by the tone and success of the original film.

Released in 1993, Khalnayak was directed by Subhash Ghai and starred Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, and Jackie Shroff. The film became a major commercial success and is remembered for its powerful performances, gripping storyline, and evergreen music — including the iconic song “Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai.”
