Just wait n watch” in the caption.
Subhash Ghai, while talking about the sequel in an interview with Hindustan Times stated that, “I heard a fantastic script from Amit Rai, the writer-director of Oh My God 2, which has been written as Aitraaz 2 now. We are getting so many calls from different studios that they are interested in making the film. And I must say that Amit again has a big hit script with him at the moment. I really loved it.”
Besides that, Ghai further shared that they are finalizing the female lead for Aitraaz 2. “We do have a wish list but lets see who will be finalized. It will again be a bold role which I am sure will get a lot of awards for the actor, as it did for Priyanka,” he said.
The producer summed it all together with the statement that the sequel would be far better than the first one.
