Mumbai: In an interview with leading portal, Suniel Shetty talked about the sequel of his and Akshay Kumar's 2000 film Dhadkan. He feels that the actors are too old to appear in a sequel but that their sons, Ahan and Aarav, can be the substitute.
Suniel said, "I and Akshay have grown old now and no one will be interested to see oldies like us romance on the screen. But it would be great if the sequel is made with our kids. But Shilpa’s daughter is very cute and too small to be a part of the film."
Suniel has discussed the idea with producer Ratan Jain, who gave a positive response it. "We also shared this thought of casting our sons with producer Ratan Jain and he liked it too," he said.
The film was being planned but has been put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic. "We were working on the casting. But since the outbreak of coronavirus and the lockdown, no screen tests or look tests have been done. If all goes as per our plans then we may begin shooting in 2021," Ratan said.

It’s still there, very much alive and it will happen with the three of us because we are very very keen. Things have to be sorted out and they are. So we’re definitely doing it."
