Mumbai – After rumours swirled that the film “Apne 2” had been shelved, many fans of the late actor Dharmendra felt a deep disappointment. Producer Deepak Mukut has since set the record straight, confirming that the project is alive and will serve as a tribute to the legend.
The original “Apne” brought together the Deol clan—Dharmendra, Sunny, and Bobby—and has been a touchstone for speculation ever since Dharmendra passed away. The story was close to his heart, and the sequel is designed to echo that sentiment.
In a recent statement, Mukut urged viewers not to trust unverified chatter: “People need to halt the spread of unfounded rumours. ‘Apne 2’ is NOT shelved. This film is moving forward with full conviction. We have been working quietly yet consistently, and there has never been any intention to abandon the project. ‘Apne 2’ remains on track and stands as one of the most emotionally significant ventures in our portfolio.”
He added, “‘Apne’ belonged to Dharamji. His presence, warmth, and soul—all that he embodied—made that film what it was. ‘Apne 2’ is incredibly close to my heart. In many respects, the new film will be a shradhanjali, a heartfelt homage to Dharamji. We want the sequel to celebrate him, his values, and the emotional world he created with the Deol family on screen.”
Earlier announced with Dharmendra, Sunny, Bobby, and Karan Deol, the sequel is currently undergoing creative adjustments. Nevertheless, its core purpose remains unchanged: to honour the emotional legacy of one of Hindi cinema’s most cherished family dramas.
For fans of the Deol family and admirers of Dharmendra’s enduring charm, the assurance that “Apne 2” will indeed be released is a welcome relief. The film is not only alive but is being crafted as a tribute befitting the icon who defined the franchise.
