A sequel to the 2007 film Johnny Gaddaar is in the offing. And just like the sequel to Life In a… Metro by Anurag Basu, this film will also not be called a sequel due to copyright issues involved with the first part.
“It is a new subject and film called, Monica… Oh, My Darling. The film has a retro feel to it, just like how all of Sriram Raghavan's subjects are. Producer Sheel Kumar who has backed films like Pink will be spearheading the project,” says a source.
For fans of Sriram Raghavan's work, there is bad news. Sriram will not be directing this venture, but may back the project as a producer.
Johnny Gaddaar marked the debut of actor Neil Nitin Mukesh and also starred Rimi Sen and Dharmendra in lead roles. The cult film was backed by Late Jhamu Sugandh and later on taken over by Adlabs and released when Jhamu went into a financial crisis.
Sources add that the makers are also in the process of acquiring the song Piya Tu Ab To Aaja… which features the RD Burman line ‘Monica Oh, My Darling’ from the 1971 film Caravan to reprise in the film.
