While several filmmakers find comedy difficult, director Anees Bazmee has been making people laugh without fail for many years. With films like Welcome, No Entry, and Thank You under his credit, the director is now looking ahead, planning a remake of his 2002 release Deewangee. Starring Ajay Devgn as an antagonist along with Akshaye Khanna and Urmila Matondkar as leads, it was Bazmee’s first suspense film.
Talking about its sequel, Anees told a leading daily, “It’s on my mind, but I haven’t found a good story,” he admitted, adding that whenever they meet, Ajay tells him the same. “Ajay is a dear friend and if I think of something suitable, we’ll definitely team-up. As a director, he was my first hero in Hulchul.”
Deewangee, which was reportedly loosely based on the 1996 Hollywood film Primal Fear, had earned mixed reviews, but Ajay was appreciated for his performance in a negative role with a split personality disorder.
