Before
the
brand
runs
out
of
steam
Akshay
Kumar
has
decided
to
run
into
the
next
installment
of
Singh
Is
Kinng.
Vipul
Shah
who
was
in
two
minds,
has
decided
to
direct
the
sequel
since
Anees
Bazmee
seems
too
busy
to
do
the
needful.
Says
Vipul,
“Yes,
after
much
planning
and
plotting
and
two
years
since
the
first
film,
we"ve
finally
cracked
an
idea
that
works.
My
writer
Suresh
Nair
and
I
are
happy
with
what
we"ve
come
up
with.
And
yes,
I"ll
be
directing
the
sequel."
Though
Vipul
is
not
willing
to
reveal
much
of
the
plot
for
the
sequel
at
this
juncture—at
least
not
on
record—it"s
reliably
learnt
that
the
sequel
would
begin
where
the
first
Singh
Is
Kinng
trailed
off
,
namely
in
Australia
and
then
move
on
to
another
country,
apparently
Canada
which
is
Akshay"s
second
home.
Akshay"s
haste
to
start
Singh
Is
Kinng
2
has
a
root
cause.
While
playing
a
mona
Sardar
in
Patiala
House
in
London
last
month,
he
was
repeatedly
asked
by
his
Sikh
fans
in
Great
Britain
when
they"d
get
to
see
him
as
Singh
again.
Akshay
immediately
contacted
Vipul
from
London
and
also
urged
him
to
direct
the
sequel.
Says
Akshay
“Yes,
a
lot
of
fans
in
the
UK
are
eager
to
see
us
do
a
sequel
to
Singh
Is
Kinng
again.
And
I"ve
asked
Vipul
to
get
on
with
it."
There
is
only
one
hitch.
Singh"s
queen
Katrina
is
completely
booked
till
next
year.
And
the
sequel
cannot
be
made
without
her.
Laughs
Vipul,
“She
won"t
let
me
or
Akshay
make
it
without
her.
We"ll
just
have
to
see
how
her
dates
can
be
worked
out."
