Vidyut
Jammwal-Shivaleeka
Oberoi
starrer
Khuda
Haafiz:
Chapter
2
released
in
theatres
on
Friday
(July
8).
Helmed
by
Faruk
Kabir,
the
action-thriller
is
a
sequel
of
Khuda
Haafiz
which
saw
a
direct
to
digital
release
in
theatres
in
2020.
Upon
its
release
this
week,
Khuda
Haafiz:
Chapter
2
was
hailed
by
fans
for
Vidyut
Jammwal's
action
sequences.
However,
the
film
started
its
journey
on
a
slow
note
at
the
box
office.
According
to
the
early
trends,
the
Vidyut
Jammwal-Shivaleeka
Oberoi's
film
minted
around
Rs
1.50-1.60
Crore
nett
on
the
first
day
of
its
release.
It
needs
to
be
seen
whether
the
Faruk
Kabir
directorial
will
pick
up
business
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
to
mount
a
respectable
weekend.
Speaking
about
why
the
makers
came
up
with
the
idea
of
a
sequel
to
Khuda
Haafiz
which
was
inspired
by
true
events,
Vidyut
recently
told
ETimes
in
an
interview,
"Khuda
Haafiz
saw
a
happy
ending
with
the
protagonist
rescuing
his
kidnapped
wife
from
the
fresh
traders
and
bringing
her
back.
One
fine
evening,
Faruk
(Kabir,
director),
who
was
in
touch
with
the
couple,
told
me
that
it
isn't
as
easy
as
it
looks
for
them.
The
woman,
who
went
through
a
tough
time
after
being
kidnapped,
continues
to
battle
trauma
as
she
struggles
to
lead
a
normal
life
here.
Some
people
judge
her.
So,
she
ends
up
switching
her
job
constantly.
Her
husband,
too,
is
facing
trying
times
as
he
is
also
judged."
Vidyut
said
that
the
director
Faruk
Kabir
told
him
about
how
that
couple
is
going
through
an
'agni
pariksha'
where
people
have
sympathy
for
them,
but
they
are
not
letting
them
be.
He
shared
that
the
filmmaker
then
suggested
him
that
they
could
make
a
film
with
a
story
that
talks
about
what
happens
after
a
happy
ending.
Khuda
Haafiz:
Chapter
2
revolves
around
Sameer
(Vidyut
Jammwal)
and
Nandini
(Shivaleeka
Oberoi)
who
after
overcoming
all
odds,
find
their
lives
getting
torn
apart
again
due
to
a
bizarre
twist
of
fate.
