Earlier this week, Sunny Deol announced his collaboration with his actor son Karan Deol for a sequel to the 2007 film Apne. The film will also feature his father, veteran actor Dharmendra, and his actor-brother Bobby Deol. Apne also starred the trio, which was a sports drama that featured Dharmendra as a disgraced former boxer who tries to reclaim the lost respect in his career through his sons.
In 2019, Sunny Deol had directed Karan Deol in his debut film Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas. The film had met with an average response at the box office.
Apne 2 will also be helmed by Anil Sharma and will be produced by Deepak Mukut. The film goes on the floors in March 2021, and the makers are aiming for a Diwali 2021 theatrical release.
