The 2021 horror comedy Bhoot Police brought together Arjun Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yami Gautam, and recent industry chatter has centred on a possible sequel. Reports suggest that filmmaker Priyadarshan may return to the director’s chair, albeit with a new cast.

However, the filmmaker tells us, “Nothing is locked. There are only some discussions happening right now. Even the script is not finalized. I have not decided whether I should do it or not, and I am still waiting to see the script.”

Priyadarshan also dismisses reports of him charging Rs. 21 crore for the project. “If the film happens, I will let you know,” he clarifies.

The first film revolved around a fake exorcism business, with Saif and Arjun playing two brothers who con people for money. While Arjun’s involvement is still under discussion, producer Ramesh Taurani confirms that “Saif will not be part of the next instalment”. He adds, “The rest of the casting is still being discussed.”
