The sequel to Sanam Teri Kasam was announced recently on Instagram. And the lead of the 2016 film, actor Harshvardhan Rane, credits fans — who dedicatedly urged the producers to start work on a sequel to the film — for making it possible. The cult romance was also loved by audiences for his music, composed by Himesh Reshammiya.

Rane, who will be seen leading the love story, says, “I congratulate the fans for this accomplishment. They made this happen by tagging the producer online to make part two and re-release the first part of the film,” beams the actor.

When asked what the fans should expect from the sequel of the film, which is expected to re-release in theatres in October, the 40-year-old jokes that letting the fans decide might not be a bad idea. “I feel fans should voice their expectations from part two, too, to the producer, Deepak Mukut sir. He might be listening, you never know,” he quips.

The first film starred Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane in the lead, but it is unclear if she, too, will reprise her role as Saraswati, in the sequel, considering the character died in the first film

 A source close to the production reveals, “The film has just been announced. The makers are first going to lock in a good director. After that the focus will go on the leading lady. Nothing has been decided on that yet.”
