Script for Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kaabil 2’ is Ready: ‘When The Roshans Feel It’s The Right Time, We’ll Make It,’ Says Sanjay Gupta (EXCLUSIVE)
In 2017, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta collaborated with Hrithik Roshan for “Kaabil,” which was bankrolled by Rakesh Roshan under his banner FilmKraft Productions. Despite clashing with Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Raees,” the action-thriller performed exceptionally well at the ticket windows.
Talking exclusively to Variety India, Gupta shares he is completely ready with the “Kaabil 2” script and will go on floors after he gets the green signal from Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan.

“I just want to tell you that as a director and a writer, I'm fully ready. The minute I get a green signal from Roshans, we're good to go. I have the script for “Kaabil 2” and when they feel it is the right time, we'll make it. And like I even tweeted that this time it is far more deadlier than the first part, which is what should be in any case. When you make a sequel to a film, it has to be better than the first. Otherwise, why make it?” shares the “Shootout At Wadala” helmer.
In “Kaabil,” Hrithik Roshan played the role of a blind dubbing artist, who turns vigilante to seek revenge against those responsible for his wife’s death, played by Yami Gautam.
Talking about “Kaabil,” the movie also featured Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy, Rohit Roy, Akhilendra Mishra, Narendra Jha, Suresh Menon and Girish Kulkarni in prominent roles.
The music for the film was composed by Rajesh Roshan and the screenplay was written by Vijay Kumar Mishra. The film entered the ₹100 crore club despite having a screen battle with “Raees.”
Sanjay Gupta’s last project was “The Miranda Brothers,” featuring Harshvardhan Rane and Meezaan Jafri. The sports drama premiered in 2024 on JioCinema.
