5 Bollywood Film Sequels That Never Got Released

Apart from the hundreds of films that release every year in Bollywood, the number of films that do not get released or are shelved after their announcement is much larger. Be it Amitabh Bachchan or Shah Rukh Khan every big and small Bollywood star has been a part of a film that never got released or was shelved after its ambitious announcement. What we mean to say is that while we get excited after the announcement of every big Bollywood project, there is always a risk that the film in making might get struck last minute and never hit the silver screen.

Take for example these sequels to popular Bollywood films that never got made after their announcement or if they even went on floors they were never completed. Even their popular predecessors couldn’t help the making of the films and they were shelved.

Munna Bhai Chale America – After the super hit Munna Bhai M.B.B.S and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Rajkumar Hiarni proudly announced a third film to the franchise in 2010 and that was Munna Bhai Chale America. While we saw Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi in an interesting poster for the film, the project got shelved after Sanjay Dutt had to surrender in 2013.

No Entry Mein Entry – The Bollywood comedy was an unexpected hit and a total laugh riot. Director Anees Bazmee, has long worked out the sequel to this blockbuster in 2005, the film seems to be jinxed and not worked out past its announcement. The film was supposed to retain the original cast of the film including Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan in double roles.

Partner 2 – Salman Khan and Govinda were too take their hit partnership at the box office ahead with a sequel to the David Dhawan comedy. But as keen as the director was to bring Partner 2 to the cinema halls, the film never worked out past its announcement and was shelved thereafter.

Aasman – One of the biggest budget films of Bollywood, Blue was a megaflop of 2009. The Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif film was supposed to have a sequel titled Aasman. John Abraham, Neha Oberoi, and Sonal Chauhan were also fixed to join the cast, but after the flop original and the announcement of the project things never really went ahead.

Hera Pheri 3 – The third installment the mega hit comedy starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Sunil Shetty has been announced so long back that it almost seems a fragment of history. The third installment of the film seems to be really jinxed as the cast has been abandoning the project one after the other, including the new members like John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan. The film has now been on halt for the longest time and it seems that would remain that way.

But as they say everything happens for a reason and we hope that it best explanation behind these films not happening at all.
