Mumbai: Director Rahul Rawail has dismissed reports that Sunny Deol starrer ‘Ghayal Returns’ has hit a roadblock and said he is currently working on the script.
"The sequel will definitely be made. I am working on the script. I can`t talk about the film or any other details related to the project," director Rahul Rawail said.
Earlier Sunny had roped in Ashwini Chaudhury of ‘Jodi Breakers’ fame to direct ‘Ghayal Returns’. But due to some disagreements between Sunny and Ashwini, the association did not materialise.
Sunny then handed over the project to director Rahul, with whom he had worked 12 years ago in ‘Arjun Pandit’.
‘Ghayal Returns’ is a sequel to 1990 hit action film ‘Ghayal’ which had Sunny and Meenakshi Seshadri in the lead.
"Both Sunny and Rahul did not want to go ahead with the story that Ashwini had penned. So, Rahul is working on a fresh story which is different from what Ashwini had conceptualised," a source close the project said.
The sequel is likely to go on floors next year.
"Rahul had several ideas about `Ghayal Returns` and Sunny has selected one. Rahul is working on the idea. To develop a good story will take time, say about six months or so," the source added.
There was a buzz that Vidya Balan and Bipasha Basu were approached for `Ghayal Returns`.
As of now only, Sunny has been finalised for the sequel, the makers have not zeroed in on the leading lady.
"Once Rahul is done with his script then we will approach the actress," the source said.
