Producer Deepak Mukut asserted that the rights to Sanam Teri Kasam belong to him and that a sequel cannot be produced without his involvement.
The 2016 film Sanam Teri Kasam, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane in the lead roles, was re-released in theaters on February 7, nine years after its original debut. In its second run, the film has been performing exceptionally well at the box office. Following the positive response to the re-release, directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru announced a sequel. However, Sanam Teri Kasam producer Deepak Mukut is not pleased with the announcement of Sanam Teri Kasam 2.
Deepak asserted that the rights to Sanam Teri Kasam belong to him and that a sequel cannot be produced without his involvement. During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the producer said, “The IP of Sanam Teri Kasam belongs to me since I am its producer. So, the right to make a sequel or even a prequel or a remake rests with me. I announced the sequel in September 2024 with Harshvardhan Rane in the lead. As for the directors (Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru), I haven’t had any discussion with them. They haven’t met and spoken to me about it. I have not finalized any director.”
He added, “It is their duty to reach out to me rather than the other way round, especially since they are giving interviews about making the sequel. I just want to reiterate that the rights belong to me.”
Deepak Mukut also mentioned that the sequel of Sanam Teri Kasam is currently in the writing stage. Sanam Teri Kasam marked Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane’s debut in Bollywood. However, the leading lady for the sequel is yet to be announced.
