MUMBAI: Going by the critical acclaim their film Ishqiya got last year, Shemaroo Entertainment and Vishal Bharadwaj Pictures have announced the sequel of the film.

Said Shemaroo Entertainmenr director Hiren Gada, “ The yet untitled film, to be directed by Abhishek Chaubey, will have the same cast and crew. Right now the film is in the scripting stage and once it is locked, we will think of incorporating a few other names as the script demands. In all probability, the film will go on the floors in the middle of this year."

It is said that several production houses had approached Chaubey to direct the sequel. He too was in talks and wanted to make a sequel to the film with John Abraham. But nothing worked out.

Chaubey took a long break to decide his next film. Once he firmed up his mind, he decided to go ahead and direct the Ishqiya sequel.
