Sanjay Dutt shared that Khalnayak Returns originated in prison discussions, saying he asked inmates if they wanted a sequel and “4,000 said yes.” He later collected written ideas from them, which helped shape the storyline of the upcoming film.

Actor Sanjay Dutt announced a sequel to his 1993 classic Khal Nayak, titled Khalnayak Returns, on Friday (April 24), unveiling an intense first look. The original film starred Madhuri Dixit, Anupam Kher, Rakhee Gulzar, and Jackie Shroff, and Dutt revealed that the idea for the sequel originated during his jail term in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, for which he was sentenced to five years in prison.

At the announcement event on Friday, Dutt said, "In jail, I asked everyone around me — who would be interested in watching it. And the 4,000 inmates said they all would. I asked all of them to write one page about it (new ‘Khalnayak’ story), and it took me a while to read all 4,000 pages."

“When I came out on parole, I asked Subhash sir to go through it. After that, he said it should be made," the actor added.
