Sunny Deol's ₹100 Crore Grosser Loses Its Director For The Sequel? Here's What We Know

Sunny Deol starrer Jaat released earlier this year and became a box office success with over ₹104 crore gross collection at the domestic box office and around ₹118 crore worldwide. The movie's good reception was fueled by Sunny's massy action avatar and Telugu director Gopichand Malineni's execution. At the end of Jaat, the film's sequel had also been announced. In a new update, the makers hinted that they may be on the lookout for a new director to helm the Sunny starrer sequel if Gopichand is not available. The willingness to start Jaat 2 without the original director hints at the team's willingness to take the movie on the floors sooner than later.
