MUMBAI: Sujoy Ghosh has revealed that he was toying with the idea of making a sequel to his 2003 film Jhankaar Beats that he had made for Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC).

Said Ghosh, “We were thinking of making a sequel from quite some time. Now I have a story, which I would be comfortable turning into a sequel. Jhankaar Beats was made ten years ago and in these 10 years I have gained some experience, having seen enough of life. Now I can share it with all."

Ghosh will start with the sequel once he sees the release of his upcoming Vidya-Balan-starrer Kahaani. “I will then focus on the sequel of Jhankaar Beats," he added.

Ghosh plans to repeat the same cast for the sequel. "It has to be the same star cast for the sequel. However, for the sequel I want to stick to more of life and less music. You can‘t escape life," he added. In the original, the focus was on music as it was a tribute to legendary composer Rahul Dev Burman.

In the 2003-made film, Ghosh had paid a tribute to the late R D Burman by way of him featuring some of the maestro’s good songs in the film. The film starred Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Suri, Rahul Bose, Rinke Khanna, Riya Sen and Shayan Munshi among others.
