In a surprising move, the sequel to Jaat was officially announced on April 17, with Sunny Deol set to return and Gopichand Malineni on board as the director. While sequels usually generate widespread excitement, this announcement has drawn unexpected satire from within Bollywood circles.
Despite Jaat being Sunny Deol’s third-biggest hit, its performance at the box office has been relatively modest, with a net collection of around ₹60 crore in India. With the current trend, it is expected to close somewhere near ₹100 crore. However, considering the high production budget, these numbers are not considered strong enough to comfortably justify a sequel.
This sudden announcement has led to speculation among netizens, with many claiming that the sequel news is a strategic move to boost the film’s performance in its second weekend. Some even believe the announcement is merely a publicity stunt and doubt if Jaat 2 will actually materialize.
Nonetheless, the production house, Mythri Movie Makers, has a reputation for taking bold decisions. While Jaat might not have delivered the expected returns, the makers seem confident that the sequel could strike gold at the box office, possibly redeeming the franchise and making a stronger impact.
