The highly anticipated sequel to the 2001 political action film, 'Nayak: The Real Hero,' starring Anil Kapoor, has been officially confirmed and is currently in development. Producer Deepak Mukut, who previously held the copyrights for the film, clarified that 'Nayak 2' will be a collaborative project between him and Anil Kapoor, dismissing earlier reports suggesting Kapoor had solely acquired the film's rights. Mukut stated that both he and Kapoor are jointly producing the sequel, emphasizing its status as a "legacy project". 'Nayak: The Real Hero,' which gained cult status years after its initial release on September 7, 2001, is approaching its 25th anniversary. Anil Kapoor is confirmed to reprise his iconic role as Shivaji Rao, the television cameraman who famously became Chief Minister for a day to tackle corruption. While the sequel is confirmed, details regarding the full cast, director, and production schedule are still under wraps, with an official announcement expected once the script is finalized. The makers aim to begin filming in the current year, ensuring the project aligns with the enduring appeal and relevance of the original film's theme. This collaborative effort marks a significant development for fans who have long wished for a continuation of the beloved story.
