The legacy of legendary actor Dharmendra, who mesmerized audiences with his powerful performances for over six decades, continues to inspire Bollywood. After his passing, reports began circulating that the much-awaited family drama ‘Apne 2’ had been shelved. This left fans heartbroken, especially since the sequel was meant to reunite multiple generations of the Deol family.
However, putting all rumors to rest, producer Deepak Mukut has officially confirmed that Apne 2 is very much alive and moving forward.
Apne 2 Will Be Made With Full Passion and Emotion
In a statement shared with NDTV, producer Deepak Mukut said,
“People should stop spreading such false rumours. Apne 2 has not been shelved. The film is being made and will be made with the same passion.”
He further emphasized that the team has been consistently working on the project, adding:
“There is no question of dropping it. Apne 2 is not only on track, but one of the most emotionally significant films of our banner.”
A Heartfelt Tribute to Dharmendra
Deepak Mukut also highlighted the emotional essence of the film, saying that Apne 2 will always belong to Dharam ji.
He added:
“His presence, his passion, and his soul shaped this film. Apne 2 is extremely close to my heart and will be a tribute to Dharam ji in every way. With this sequel, we want to celebrate him, his values, and the emotional world the Deol family created onscreen.”
Earlier Concerns Cleared After Anil Sharma’s Statement
The confusion started when Gadar 2 director Anil Sharma said that making Apne 2 without Dharmendra would be extremely difficult. This statement sparked speculation that the film might be cancelled.
To clarify, the makers confirmed that the project is very much on track—just creatively being restructured to adapt to Dharmendra’s absence.
A Film That Unites Three Generations

Back in 2020, Dharmendra himself had shared a video announcing Apne 2, which was set to feature all three generations of the Deol family—
- Dharmendra
- Sunny Deol
- Bobby Deol
- Karan Deol
Now, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the makers will reshape the storyline while honoring the legendary actor’s spirit.
The Legacy Continues
With Apne (2007) being a massive emotional hit, expectations from Apne 2 are high. And now that the makers have finally spoken, fans can look forward to a heartfelt tribute wrapped in a powerful family drama.
Apne 2 is coming — not just as a film, but as a celebration of Dharmendra’s unforgettable legacy.
