It seems Himesh Reshammiya can’t let go of his Aap Ka Surroor attachment even almost a decade after the music album was released. In 2007, he made a film with the same title that featured Hansika Motwani and Mallika Sherawat. Now, the musician-actor is keen to turn it into a franchise. As the first step, he is rechristening his upcoming gangsta flick, Guns N Roses, as Aap Ka Surroor 2.

Says a source, “As Aap Ka Surroor is synonymous with Himesh, he wants to get the copyright to it and develop it as a title franchise. Besides, he feels the title goes well with the songs he has composed for the film.” The action thriller, which also stars filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, has Himesh essay the role of a gangster. It was recently shot in Ireland.

Says the film’s creative producer Rakesh Upadhyay, “The title has not been decided yet, but it will mostly be called Aap Ka Surroor 2.”
