Randeep Hooda to return as Shankar in Laal Rang 2; film to go on floors soon

Actor Randeep Hooda announced the sequel of Laal Rang on Friday. He also shared the poster of the film on his official social media account.

The actor also said that he will commence the shoot of the film soon. "ये लो!! हवा मै प्रणाम 🙏 #LaalRang2 Shooting Soon," he captioned his post on Instagram.

Randeep's character Shankar spread his charm and completely absorbed the audience into his blood transfusion racket where he plays both the devil and savior and owned the screen with his spontaneity and rustic appearance.

Seven years have passed since Laal Rang’s release that captured the hearts and minds of fans, critiques and films buffs alike. Whilst the film was unsuccessful at the box office, it was haunting enough to turn into a cult status thanks to the die-hard fan base across the country.

About Laal Rang

Laal Rang, set in Haryana is a dark humoured drama which revolved around the blood trade business involving sentiments of friendship, brotherhood, love and greed.

The film’s magic lay in its fresh, quirky content, dialogues and memorable characters, particularly that of Shankar, immortalised by Randeep.

Laal Rang 2 marks the foray of the versatile actor as a producer along with Panchali Chakraverty and Yogesh Rahar.

Randeep: Shankar Malik will always stay close to my heart

On asking the actor about the recent endeavour, Randeep said, “Shankar Malik is one character that will always stay close to my heart, the film even after seven years stays relevant and has a dedicated fan-base to it. This is what has compelled me to embark on this new journey as a producer too with a lot of joy and a sense of responsibility towards it.”

Director Syed Ahmed said, “We are extremely excited to begin the madness again, the storyline is dark, murky and lays the perfect plinth for an enchanting film and we once again have a chance to deliver something memorable. The essence of the sequel shall remain akin to the original. This sequel will be darker, meaner, violent and yet funny.”

Akshay Oberoi and Pia Bajpiee will reprise their roles from the first part and search is on for the new additions to the second part.

Laal Rang 2: Khoon Chusva is produced by Randeep Hooda Films, Avak Films & Jelly Bean Entertainment Co Produced by Anwar Ali and Sonu Kuntal. The film is slated to go on floor soon.
