A source close to the development informed Mumbai Mirror, "Milap had fleshed out strong characters for John and Manoj B Bajpayee in the first part. This time, he has written a memorable leading role for Divya. While SMJ2 will still pack a lot of punches, this time around it will be a commercial family entertainer with a patriotic flavour. What drew her to the project is that the role is integral to the narrative and will present her in an interesting light."
Divya has been approached for the sequel of Satyameva Jayate and she has signed the film on the dotted line. Divya who started her career in Bollywood as an actress with the 2004 film Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo was last seen in Sanam Re (2016). The actress married Bhushan Kumar, the chairman and managing director of T-Series, post which she ventured into directing. After directing 20 music videos, Divya did her first directorial venture Yaariyan in 2014. She has also choreographed 5 songs in the film, including Baarish, Maa, Love Me Thoda Aur, Allah Wariya and Zor Lagake.
The sequel will go on floors this year.
