According to Mid Day, Kangana kicked off the shoot of Vikas Bahl’s upcoming film Queen 2 in South Mumbai last week. April was a hectic month for the actress, who began preparations

for Queen 2 soon after wrapping up ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata’. The team reportedly had only about 20 days to prepare before moving into production. The film is now being shot in and around Mumbai.

“Now, they are shooting in and around Mumbai. The unit is currently filming in Grant Road, where a set depicting the protagonist’s home has been built,” a source told the entertainment portal.

The report further states that the second part is not a direct continuation of the original, but it will retain its core themes of self-discovery and self-reliance. “This time too, Rani is a small-town woman from North India, but her look is entirely different. The story traces how she comes into her own after a situation brings her to Mumbai,” a source told Mid Day.  No actors from the original cast are expected to return apart from Kangana.

Meanwhile, according to a Bollywood Hungama report, the film is unlikely to be called Queen 2. Instead, makers are reportedly leaning towards a fresh and more fitting title: Queen Forever. However, it hasn’t been confirmed.
