Jannat 2 is Set to Release in May 2012 :- Jannat 2 is a sequel to the film Jannat which was a huge hit and was released in the year 2008. Jannat was the story of a bookie involved in betting and match fixing. But the sequel to it Jannat 2 is the story of an illegal arms dealer in Delhi.


Emraan Hashmi was in the lead of the previous movie and in this movie too he plays the central character and hi characters name is ‘Arjun’ same as the previous one. Esha Gupta a new comer will star opposite him and play his love interest in the movie. Randeep Hooda portrays an important character in the film and Imran Zahid plays the character of a police inspector name ‘Vijay Thakur’ in the movie.

Jannat 2 is being directed by Kunal Deshmukh, he had directed the previous movie as well. It is being produced under the Vishesh Films banner, but Vishesh Films will only be dealing with the distribution of this movie in the Indian market for Star Studios will be responsible for the distribution of this movie in the overseas market. This is going to be a huge film as it is riding on huge expectations as people are really looking forward to this movie.

Music director Pritam is doing the music for this film too, as he was the one who was responsible for the success of the previous film’s music. So it’s pretty obvious that the music of this film too will be as appealing as the previous one, infact a song from this movie has already being leaked and is available on various sites and has been liked by the listeners.

There are a certain controversies surrounding this film. The most important one is that, this movie was supposed to be released on 27th April 2012 but now it will release in May 2012 due to certain issues. Secondly it is reported that earlier Prachi Desai was cast for the role opposite Emraan Hashmi but later on she was dropped and Esha Gupta was chosen over her because the director thought that Prachi wouldn’t be able to match up to the hotness quotient required for the role in this movie. Some of the sequences in this movie have been shot in the Delhi Metro Services as well.

Jannat 2 has to thrive on huge expectations and with the delay in release will increase the amount of expectations which might end up being a little too hard for the movie to live up to. Though nothing about the story of the movie has been revealed yet and neither have the teasers been released, but Jannat 2 is definitely a movie to look forward to in 2012.
