Son Of Sardar 2:

Dutt will be returning for the sequel of the film which was released over a decade ago. The sequel is a fresh story, and doesn't pick up where the original ended. A source told mid-day, "Since the characters of Billu and Jassi were loved by the audiences, the two actors are expected to stick to their characters' names. Their dynamics, however, will be different. While the two were at loggerheads with hilarious results in Son of Sardaar, this time, their rivalry will be intense, with Sanjay's role leaning towards the antagonist."
