The *Jaat* sequel just got a massive director upgrade — at least on paper. If the latest industry buzz is accurate, Mythri Movie Makers are in talks with *Akhanda* director Boyapati Srinu to helm *Jaat 2*, and the prospect of pairing Sunny Deol’s raw screen power with Boyapati’s mass-action filmmaking style has fans absolutely buzzing.

## What’s the Real Story Behind the Director Change?

Gopichand Malineni — who directed the original *Jaat* — is currently committed to another project, which has led the makers to approach a new director for the sequel. Mythri Movie Makers initially approached Sriram Adittya before turning their attention to Boyapati Srinu. However, nothing has been officially confirmed yet — and notably, Boyapati himself is currently looking for the right project and lead hero, making this a potential opportunity for both sides.

Boyapati had also narrated a story to Ranveer Singh post-*Akhanda 2*, but *Dhurandhar*‘s massive success shuffled Ranveer’s entire lineup, pushing Boyapati’s project to the backtrack. He also met Rana Daggubati for a pan-India project, which hasn’t moved forward either. *Jaat 2* could be the Bollywood door Boyapati has been waiting to open.

[Boyapati Srinu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyapati_Srinu) is the Telugu director behind thunderous mass-action blockbusters like *Simha*, *Julayi*, *Legend*, *Sarrainodu*, and *Akhanda* — all celebrated for their high-voltage fight choreography, emotional punches, and roaring hero-elevation moments.

Sunny Deol is renowned for his powerful screen presence and high-energy performances, and fans believe this combination could turn the sequel into a massive, pan-India action entertainer. Reports suggest discussions are currently in an advanced stage, and the film is expected to be mounted on a large budget across multiple languages.
