Producer Deepak Sawant, whose maiden Bhojpuri film Ganga, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Manoj Tiwari ‘Mridul’, Ravi Kissen, Naghma and others is currently running in its 10th week in Bihar-U P and Delhi, is planning a sequel.
Says Sawant, “Yes, I am planning a sequel to Ganga. Amitabh Bachchan has given me the green signal to go ahead. I have titled it Bajrangi (Manoj Tiwari’s character name in the film). I am going for the same star cast. It may also star Abhishek Bachchan in one of the flashback scenes. The film is in the scripting stages and will be completed within one or two months.”
“I was planning a Hindi film. But it takes more time and money. So, I thought of going ahead with Ganga part two. I am told that the film is doing well in Delhi in its 10th week. In Bihar – Jharkhand, 30 prints are being screened from day one; while in Delhi – UP, 25 prints are being screened. I would like to complete my sequel and ready it during the silver jubilee celebration of Ganga.”
Deepak Sawant has been the Big B’s personal makeup man for the last 30 years.
