The announcement of a sequel to Jaat has taken many by surprise, especially given the film’s modest performance. While it managed to cross the ₹100 crore mark, it didn’t shatter records like Gadar 2 or achieve the blockbuster status of Jawan or Pathaan. So why are Mythri Movie Makers betting big on a follow-up?
According to industry sources, director Gopichand Malineni has penned a more powerful and compelling story for the sequel. Reportedly, this new script impressed Sunny Deol enough to give the greenlight. That said, several intriguing questions remain.
Malineni is already juggling a massive project with Balakrishna, especially after the success of Veera Simha Reddy, which has raised expectations among fans. So, will Jaat 2 begin production anytime soon? Unlikely.
Sunny Deol’s calendar is packed—he’s committed to Border 2, Lahore 1947 (under Aamir Khan’s production), and a major role as Lord Hanuman in Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana. He’s also signed on for another film titled Safar. With these lined up, any serious progress on Jaat 2 may not begin until well into 2026, giving Malineni enough breathing space to fine-tune the project.
Despite not being a critical darling, Jaat fared well in B and C centers across North India, with strong collections in those belts. The film, however, faced criticism for its formulaic narrative—a South-style masala treatment blended with a predictable plot. Still, some high-impact sequences resonated with audiences and helped drive decent returns.
Now, fans are hoping Jaat 2 will shed its Southern flavor in favor of a more Bollywood-centric approach, both in casting and treatment. And while comparisons to A.R. Murugadoss’ misfire Sikandar (with Salman Khan) are inevitable, it’s worth noting that Malineni still managed to deliver a respectable success with Jaat.
Whether the sequel can build on this momentum and rise above the original is the big question—but the potential is definitely there.
