A few days back, a report in Pinkvilla claimed that Subhash Ghai shared that his company will soon announce sequels of some iconic films like Khalnayak, Pardes, Karma and Saudagar.
"We have a story lab, they keep working on the story, and I am heading that department. People love nostalgia, and Ballu Balram of Khalnayak may appear on the screen in a big way. I have been getting many messages after Gadar 2's success, 'Why don’t you make Khalnayak 2?' So we are contemplating on it and you will hear the news very soon. It will have Sanjay and a new star, both of them together," Subhash Ghai reportedly told the news portal.
Back then, Khalnayak became one of the biggest hits after it released.
Sanjay Dutt was seen as Balram Prasad Ballu in the film. While Jackie Shroff played Inspector Ram Kumar Sinha, Madhuri was seen as his fiancé Ganga.
