A Star Cast Worth the Hype

Hashmi returns as Shivam, reprising his iconic role from the 2007 original — a film still remembered for launching one of Bollywood’s most stylish revenge-thriller franchises. Directed by Nitin Kakkar (known for Filmistaan and Notebook), the sequel brings Disha Patani as the female lead, Shabana Azmi in a menacing negative role, and marks the film debut of Paresh Rawal’s son, Aniruddh Rawal.
