After the tremendous success of Sanjay Dutt’s recent films ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar 2’ at the box office, he gave a huge surprise to the cinema lovers last month. Sanju Baba had announced the official sequel of his 33 year old blockbuster and cult classic film ‘Khalnayak’ i.e. ‘Khalnayak Returns’. When the first official teaser of this film was released on 24th April, the old memories of the fans were refreshed and a different craze was seen on social media regarding this gangster drama. Now another very interesting news to this most awaited film is coming out, which has doubled the enthusiasm of the audience. The film is going to see the return of a powerful actor of the 90s, without whom the story of ‘Khalnayak’ is considered incomplete – and he is none other than our own ‘Jaggu Dada’ i.e. Jackie Shroff. Jackie Shroff’s big confession: "100 percent…he must be a commissioner, right?"

It is completely clear that Jackie Shroff will once again be seen sharing the screen with Sanjay Dutt in ‘Khalnayak Returns’. Recently during a media interview, when he was asked a question about this sequel, he praised the project a lot. Jackie Shroff’s funny statement: When Jackie was asked whether he was really becoming a part of this film, he said without any hesitation in his usual style – "Very wonderful… I myself am eagerly waiting for this film. And as far as my presence is concerned, it is 100 percent… there will definitely be a commissioner in the film, right?"

This small statement of his has made it clear that the story has now progressed a lot. In the first film released in the year 1993, Jackie Shroff played the character of ‘Inspector Ram Kumar Sinha’, who, while staying within the ambit of the law, puts the criminal Ballu (Sanjay Dutt) behind the bars. Now he has been promoted in the sequel and will be seen protecting the law as a tough police commissioner.
