After
the
lockdown
restrictions
were
eased
by
the
government,
several
filmmakers
and
production
houses
have
resumed
work
while
maintaining
the
safety
norms.
Satyameva
Jayate
2
director
Milap
Zaveri
has
been
polishing
his
script
in
the
lockdown,
and
John
Abraham
will
now
take
down
corruption
in
the
town
of
Lucknow.
Produced
by
T-Series
and
Emmay
Entertainment,
the
makers
today
announced
this
action
drama
will
release
on
May
12th,
Eid
2021.
In
the
new
poster,
John
is
seen
sporting
a
rustic
look,
with
a
plough
in
his
hand.
One
can
see
colors
of
the
Indian
triclor
oozing
from
the
wounds
on
his
body.
After
tasting
commercial
success
with
their
2018
release,
John,
Milap
and
the
producers
decided
to
take
ahead
the
franchise
with
Divya
Khosla
Kumar
opposite
John
this
time.
While
the
first
film
dealt
with
corruption,
the
sequel
tackles
with
corruption
in
all
spheres
from
the
police
to
politicians,
industrialists,
and
the
common
man.
Changing
his
shoot
location
and
story
from
Mumbai
to
the
heart
of
our
nation
-
Lucknow,
director
Milap
said,
"Creatively,
we
changed
the
script
to
Lucknow
as
it
gave
us
a
chance
to
make
it
more
massy
and
also
make
the
canvas
larger.
Visually
also
Lucknow
adds
to
the
scale
and
grandeur.
The
action
of
this
film
is
gonna
be
ten
times
more
dynamic,
heroic
and
powerful.
John
is
going
to
smash,
Rip
and
annihilate
the
corrupt
like
he
never
has
before
on
the
silver
screen
and
Divya
is
going
to
wow
audiences
with
her
power-packed
scenes,
dramatic
prowess,
grace
and
beauty.
Satyameva
Jayate
2
like
part
one
is
a
film
of
the
masses
and
is
also
a
celebration
of
action,
music,
dialoguebaazi,
patriotism
and
heroism.
"Eid" is
a
perfect
occasion
to
release
as
it
will
offer
entertainment
galore.
With
Bhushan
sir,
Monisha
Advani,
Madhu
Bhojwani
and
Nikkhil
Advani
backing
me
once
again
I
can
promise
next
year
on
12th
May
we
will
do
our
best
to
deliver
a
festive
bonanza
for
all
audiences!"
Producer
Nikkhil
Advani
added,
"As
Milap
kept
developing
the
subject,
he
realised
that
India's
heartland
lent
itself
increasingly
to
his
plotline.
As
producers,
we
were
happy
to
pivot
to
support
his
creative
choices.
Hence
the
story
is
now
based
and
to
be
shot
in
Lucknow,
one
of
my
personal
favourite
cities
in
India.
This
is
an
extremely
special
film
for
us.
The
love
shown
by
fans
to
the
first
instalment
in
this
franchise
has
encouraged
us
to
create
a
bigger,
more
exciting
experience,
presenting
John
Abraham
as
never
seen
before.
We
are
hopeful
that
prevailing
circumstances
will
improve
and
pave
the
way
for
us
to
reach
our
audience
in
theatres
once
again"
"Satyameva
Jayate
was
a
commercial
hit
not
just
at
the
box
office
but
audiences
loved
the
action
and
drama.
John
has
become
our
nation's
action
hero
since
then.
Nikkhil
and
we
decided
to
take
the
franchise
ahead
and
continue
to
make
entertaining
commercial
cinema
with
Milap
and
John.
The
success
of
the
first
part
definitely
adds
responsibility
on
us
to
deliver
a
bigger
and
better
film
this
time
around.
Milap
has
written
a
mind-blowing
script
which
is
massy,
that
will
have
fabulous
songs
and
will
connect
with
the
audiences.
And
John
will
don
a
never
seen
before
look.
And
we
are
coming
to
the
theatres
on
Eid
next
year
which
makes
it
even
more
festive,"
producer
Bhushan
Kumar
said
in
an
official
statement.
Satyameva
Jayate
2
is
slated
to
release
on
May
12,
2021.
