With its collection of around INR18.5 crore, Mawra Hocane’s ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ has scored the biggest weekend for a Bollywood re-release.

Amid the film’s renewed success, filmmaking duo Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru confirmed that they will bring the hotly-anticipated sequel of ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ to the cinemas next year, a decade after the first film was released around Valentine’s Day 2016.

“We are absolutely sure where Inder (Harshvardhan Rane)’s story is leading after this. That’s why, in the end [of the first film] he goes near that tree and Saru (Mawra Hocane)’s voice echoes with her dialogues, which prepares you for part two,” they shared.

“So we are ready with the sequel script. We have to release it next Valentine’s Day (2026),” they added.
