Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt starrer Kaante turned out to be an instant success when it hit the theatres in 2002. The film revolved around a group of men who rob a bank in the United States. Fifteen years later, we learn that the film’s director Sanjay Gupta is gearing up for a sequel to the popular heist drama.

According to reports, Gupta has been planning the film for a long time. He wants Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham to be a part of Kaante 2.0. The film is currently in its initial stages and more details are awaited. The original film was based on Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and evoked a positive response from both the critics and fans alike. Even the renowned Hollywood director praised the Sanjay Gupta directorial. “I think it was fabulous. Of the many rip-offs (of Reservoir Dogs) I loved Hong Kong’s Too Many Ways To Be No.1 and this one, Kaante. The best part is, you have Indian guys coming to the US and looting a US bank. How cool is that! I was truly honored. And these guys are played by the legends of Bollywood,” Tarantino was quoted by TOI as saying.
