Yashika Mathur (HINDUSTAN TIMES; April 6, 2026)

Ever since actor Paresh Rawal revealed that a sequel to Malamaal Weekly is in the works, fans have been excited about its development.

While recent reports suggested that Maidaan director Amit Sharma would helm the sequel to the 2006 film, he firmly shut down the speculation.

“There seems to be some speculation around this, but no, this is not true. I’m not attached to the film in any capacity,” Sharma says.

Requesting an end to such reports to avoid confusion, he adds, “I’d really appreciate it if we could avoid circulating unverified information.”

Malamaal Weekly, directed by Priyadarshan, starred Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Riteish Deshmukh, Asrani and Shakti Kapoor, among others.
