Director Anil Sharma: Apne 2 cannot happen without Dharmendra, all was on track but some dreams remain unfulfilled

Filmmaker Anil Sharma, who had planned a sequel to Apne (2007), states that the project can no longer proceed “without his idol” Dharmendra

Filmmaker Anil Sharma, who worked with the late actor Dharmendra on seven films, called the veteran’s passing on Monday at the age of 89 as a personal and professional loss. The director, who had planned a sequel to Apne (2007), states that the project can no longer proceed “without his idol”.

The 61-year-old says, “Apne to apno ke bina nahi ho sakti. Without Dharamji, it’s impossible to make the sequel. Everything was on track and the script was ready, but he left us. Some dreams remain unfulfilled. Without him, it’s not possible!”
