Filmmaker Subhash Ghai asked this question on social media recently, taking the internet by storm with the possibility of a sequel to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshaye Khanna and Anil Kapoor\u2019s 1999 cult classic film Taal. When we reached out to him, the 81 year old confirmed that the script of Taal 2 is \u201calmost ready\u201d. In an exclusive interview with HT City, Subhash shares, \u201cThe post I shared has a question, and the audience will answer it. I have been facing this question for 15 years, \u2018When are you going to make Taal again?\u2019 Uss Taal ki jo energy hai, kitni powerful hai ki aaj ke Gen-Z bhi mujhe bol rahe hain Taal banaiye. But the easier the subject of Taal seems, the more difficult it is in reality. Uska poora script hum almost complete kar chuke hain aur abhi hum soch rahe hain yeh sahi samay hai, maybe we should make it. In order to make it, purity is very important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/taal_2_1777088836909_1777088856257.jpg\" alt=\"Subhash Ghai on a sequel to Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai's Taal\" title=\"Subhash Ghai on a sequel to Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai's Taal\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\" loading=\"eager\"\/>Subhash Ghai on a sequel to Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai&#8217;s Taal<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">The filmmaker explains, &#8220;If you remember, Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan) were new in the industry when Taal was made. Isiliye woh purity screen par aayi. Anil Kapoor was a star and he was shown as a star in the film as well. After writing a good script the main responsibility is casting. Jo meri filmein nahi chali hain, uski wajah sirf galat casting thi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">In his Instagram post, Subhash had shared, \u201cPEACE OR PASSION? COSMIC OR COSMETIC ? INNER OR OUTER ? Is the story of TAAL &#8211; a film i dared to make. With no villain. No sex. No violence. Is story even GenZ n alpha love it today. N become a memorable. Can we make TAAL 2 ? Today \ud83e\udd17\u2764\ufe0fIs a question in my mind \ud83d\ude0c.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Explaining the importance of casting, and how it worked in the favour of Mohit Suri and Aditya Chopra\u2019s 2025 blockbuster Saiyaara, the filmmaker shares, \u201cSaiyaara jo hai, mujhe achhi lagi thi bohot. The best thing about it was that the faces were new, so I believed in them, in their innocence and their energy.\u201d When asked if he would be open to casting the Saiyaara actors in Taal 2, Subhash says, \u201cAhaan Panday aur Aneet Padda ab star ban chuke hain. Par Taal 2 mein characters naye lagne chahiye. It is the need of the character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Talking about Akshaye, the filmmaker shares that the actor is like family to him even today and they hang out often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Can Taal 2 be made today?
