Bandit Queen 2 is on the way, with Honey Trehan directing the sequel to the iconic 1994 film.
This time, the story follows Phoolan Devi after her release from prison in 1994, tracing major moments from her surrender in 1983 to her assassination in 2001.
The film aims to show who she became beyond her early years.
Bedi and Trehan outline sequel's focus
Producer Bobby Bedi shared that the sequel will focus more on Devi's personal and political journey, like her marriage to Umed Singh and her two terms as a member of Parliament, instead of just revenge.
Trehan said, "This film begins where Shekhar sir's Bandit Queen left off. It's a great responsibility to honor what the original film represented. I am engrossed in the script and going through the amount of research Bobby (Bedi) sir has already done."
