The script for Apne 2, starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Dharmendra, is reportedly ready, according to director Anil Sharma. Sharma, who also directed the original Apne in 2007, shared that the script has brought tears to Dharmendra's eyes.

The original Apne was a sports drama centered around a disgraced ex-boxer, Baldev Choudhary (Dharmendra), who attempts to restore his family's honor through his sons Angad (Sunny Deol) and Karan (Bobby Deol). Apne explored themes of family, redemption, and the pursuit of dreams, resonating well with audiences. The film was a commercial success and is remembered for bringing Dharmendra and his sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol, together on screen for the first time.

Apne 2 was officially announced in November 2020 and was initially scheduled to go into production in March 2021, with a planned Diwali release on November 5, 2021. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays. The sequel will continue the story of Baldev Singh and his family. In addition to Dharmendra, Sunny, and Bobby Deol, Sunny's son Karan Deol is also expected to star in the film, marking the first time three generations of the Deol family will appear together in a movie.

Bobby Deol stated in October 2023 that the script for Apne 2 was still being worked on. He emphasized the family's desire to ensure the film is a success, explaining the delay as a result of the search for a good script. Sunny Deol also mentioned having a "very beautiful script" for the film. The director, Anil Sharma, is reportedly dedicated to finding the ideal script.

Although the specific plot details of Apne 2 are not yet known, it is expected to be an emotional film set against the backdrop of boxing, similar to the first film. Some reports suggest that Apne 2 will follow a legacy storyline, with Karan Deol potentially seeking revenge for his father's setbacks.

The Deol family's resurgence in recent years has heightened anticipation for Apne 2. Dharmendra's role in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and the success of Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol, have reminded audiences of the family's enduring appeal. Bobby Deol's upcoming role in Animal has also generated excitement.

While an official release date for Apne 2 is yet to be announced, the готов script signals that the project is moving forward.
