Filmmaker Prakash Jha has confirmed that he is currently working on the sequel to his 2010 thriller, Raajneeti. In a recent interview, Jha confirmed that the sequel to Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer
is currently in its pre-production stage. “I’m actively working on it,” he told SCREEN.
When asked about Ranbir Kapoor’s comment that he was underwhelmed with his performance in Raajneeti, the filmmaker responded by saying, “A good actor will always review their work that way. That’s his intelligence, his interpretation, and I appreciate it. At that moment, he gave his best. Of course, as an actor, or as a director or writer, when you revisit your work, you often feel you could have done better. Context changes over time. But he did a very good job, and of course, there’s always room to do even better.”
Prakash Jha first confirmed a sequel to Raajneeti in June 2025 while celebrating 15 years of the film’s release. “Raajneeti (politics) ki yatra toh anvarat (constant) hai, chalti hi rehti hai! There’s always been a plan for Raajneeti 2. While there is nothing concrete in terms of casting and shooting yet, I am currently working on it,” the filmmaker told Hindustan Times.
For the unversed, the 2010 political drama is often seen as a contemporary take on the Mahabharata, featuring Ranbir Kapoor as the hesitant Arjun, Ajay Devgn as the tormented Karna, Nana Patekar as the wise Krishna, Katrina Kaif as the wronged Draupadi, Arjun Rampal as the kind-hearted Bhima, Manoj Bajpayee as the fierce Duryodhana, Sarah Thompson as Subhadra, and Naseeruddin Shah portraying a conflicted God.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor currently has two big projects in his pipeline. He is currently working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in the lead. Other than this, the actor will also be seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s most-awaited movie, Ramayana. The film will be released worldwide: Part 1 on Diwali 2026 and Part 2 on Diwali 2027.
