Race 2
What's Same: The 'Sultans of the Suspense Genre' Abbas-Mustan are back with the sequel to one of their most popular films Race. Produced yet again by UTV and Tips Films, Race 2 retains 2 key members of its original cast- the suave Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor who once again reprises his role as funny cop Robert D'Costa (RD).
What's New: Joining the Race 2 bandwagon are some interesting new members including John Abraham. Besides all 3 leading ladies- Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel didn't feature in the first film. Get set for more adrenaline packed action and thrills this Jan 25.
What's Same: After scaring the living daylights of the audience with Ragini MMS, Ekta Kapoor is back with the sequel of the popular date horror flick which had the lethal combination of sex and horror in a date movie.
What's New: In a master-stroke of sorts, Ekta has managed to rope in Sunny Leone for the main lead. The directorial reins have been handed over to Bhushan Patel who debuted last year with 1920-Evil Returns. Ragini MMS 2 is slated to release on Oct 11.
What's Same: The 3 Deols are back with yet another hilarious ride in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 which has been largely shot in U.K.
What's New: Samir Karnik, who directed Yamla Pagla Deewana, had a fall-out with the Deols and hence it's Sangeeth Sivan who has been entrusted the responsibility of directing the sequel. Also 2 new ladies- Neha Sharma and foreigner Kristina Akeeva join the cast of the sequel. Sivan has in the past directed some wild comedies like Kyaa Kool Hain Hum and Apna Sapna Money Money and going by that expect a hilarious joy-ride this June.
What's Same: One of Bollywood's greatest love stories Aashiqui returns with the next film in the series after nearly 15 years. No prizes for guessing it's made yet again by the Bhatts.
What's New: The Bhatts' have always believed in creating stars and encouraging new talent. With Aashiqui, they gave a dream launch to Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal. This time they are kinda re-launching Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor along with Shaad Randhawa. Aashiqui 2 will be helmed by their very own blue eyed boy Mohit Suri. The film is slated to release on May 10.
