In a surprising move, the makers of Jaat have announced its sequel, Jaat 2, a week after the release of the first part.
Despite the underwhelming box office performance of Jaat, the makers are hopeful the film will recover its investment.
Actor Sunny Deol, who starred in the original film, shared the sequel’s poster on Instagram on Thursday morning, captioning it, “#Jaat on to a New Mission! #Jaat2.”

Production details
The poster of Jaat 2 confirmed that Gopichandh Malineni will be returning as the director for the sequel.
The film is produced by Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Y, and TG Vishwa Prasad, with Mythri Movie Makers backing the project.
Thus far, there hasn’t been an official announcement about the cast, apart from Deol’s confirmed return.
The original film Jaat marked Malineni’s Hindi-language debut, and was Deol’s first pan-India actioner.
