‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ Producer & Directors At Loggerheads Over Copyrights Issue For Sequel

Mumbai: After ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru hinted at a sequel of their film, producer Deepak Mukut raised a dispute over its copyright.

During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the producer claimed that the film’s rights remain with him and the sequel won’t happen without his involvement.

“The IP of Sanam Teri Kasam belongs to me since I am its producer. So, the rights to make a sequel or even a prequel or a remake rests with me. In fact, I announced the sequel in September 2024 with Harshvardhan Rane in the lead. As for the directors (Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru), I haven’t had any discussion with them. They haven’t met and spoken to me about it. I have not finalised any director,” the producer said.

He added that it’s the directors’ “duty to reach out to me rather than the other way round, especially since they are giving interviews about making the sequel… I just want to reiterate that the rights belong to me.”

Mukut said that the ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ sequel will go on floors once the script is ready.

Starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, the re-released romantic drama ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ is grossing many times more compared to the original box-office collections in 2016.

On seeing the overwhelming response of movie buffs, lead actor Harshvardhan shared that he is ready to fast for 11 days in order to convince the makers for the film’s sequel.
