Recently, Anupam Kher discusses the ‘Special 26’ follow-up. Kher discussed the prospect of a ‘Special 26’ sequel in an interview, “This is one of the questions I’ve been wanting to ask Neeraj (Pandey) for so many years. Every time he’s asked about it, he turns around and hides his face. I’ve been after him to make a sequel to Special 26. He keeps making multiple seasons of his web shows and he should make a second part of Special 26 too because it deserves a sequel. But it seems like he isn’t excited to make it (laughs). Hopefully, it will happen soon.” Kher further added, “It will happen in time.”

Earlier, Kher and Akshay Kumar discussed its sequel on X (formerly Twitter). Kumar noted that at the time, “I’m ready if the script is ready. Asli power script mein hoti hai :)”

Neeraj Pandey wrote and directed ‘Special 26’ with Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, Manoj Bajpayee, Kajal Aggarwal, and Jimmy Shergill in the lead roles. It was based on the Bombay Opera House robbery in 1987. Due to the critical and financial success of ‘Special 26’, it was remade in Tamil as ‘Thaanaa Serndha Koottam,’ starring Suriya. Kher and Pandey regularly worked together in the past on movies like ‘A Wednesday’, ‘Special 26,’ ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story,’ ‘Aiyaary’, and the recently released web series ‘The Freelancer.’
