Tere Naam sequel in works?
With Tere Naam sequel, Sajid reportedly plans to bring Salman. He played the lead role role in the original. A source informed Mid-Day that a fresh pairing might be cast, depending on whether Salman takes on the OG or a new avatar. "Once the legal and financial packaging is done, they’ll lock in Salman and only then announce a director. A tentative script is being worked upon," the source added.
At present, the discussions are apparently in full swing and Sajid might want to 'own the IP for creative freedom'. The report suggests that the makers intend to position Tere Naam sequel as legacy revival and tie nostalgia with contemporary sensibilities.
