Mehul Kumar to Make Krantiveer Sequel

Close on the heels of Vishesh films Raaz 2, the second in the series, other producers and directors too seem to have been bitten by the sequel bug. Of course, besides Raaz, there was the Dhoom series as well. The news is that producer Mehul Kumar too seems to be keen on making a sequel.

Mehul's White City Entertainment launched the sequel to the 1994 blcokbuster Krantiveer, which starred Nana Patekar, Dimple Kapadia, Danny Denzongpa, Paresh Rawal and Mamta Kulkarni, recently. However, he is using the sequel to launch his daughter and newcomer Jahan Bloch, who will play the leads in the sequel. The original Krantiveer-The Revolution dealt with the character of the apathetic Pratap Narayan Tilak, who is jostled into consciousness by a journalist. He then fights for justice in his village despite facing opposition from the cops and politicians. He finally takes the law into his own hands, resulting in mayhem. The role of Tilak was brought to life by Nana's fiery acting, which was supported excellently by Dimple. The launch announcement was attended by members of the original cast including Nana, Dimple. The lamp was lit by none other than Amitabh Bachchan.
