Bollywood actor and film producer Anil Kapoor is officially returning for the iconic Nayak sequel.

Producer Deepak Mukut has put an end to long-standing rumours. He revealed that Nayak 2  is in development and will be jointly produced by him and Anil Kapoor.

In an interview with HT City, Mukut also spoke on the reports around the film’s rights and production status. He noted, “He and I are making the film together. It is too early to say anything about it since several discussions are going on”.

Simultaneously, he confirmed Kapoor’s on-screen return and said, “Yes, the sequel is in the works, and we are producing the film together.” When asked whether the actor would face the camera again, he replied, “Of course he will!” ”

While details about the cast, director, and release timeline remain under wraps, the confirmation has already sparked excitement among fans of the 2001 political action drama Nayak: The Real Hero.
