Hilarious comedy punches and errors, best of actors put onto one large canvas- cult Punjabi film Carry On Jatta thrills its audiences even today. But now, the film is going to face a tough competition from its own sequel Carry On Jatta 2, releasing June 1, 2018.
The trailer of the sequel has garnered 6,080,881 views within two days of its release. Carry On Jatta 2, directed by Smeep Kang, stars the entire cast of Carry On Jatta with a few additions. Sonam Bajwa replaces Mahie Gill as the lead actress and comedian actress Upasana Singh joins in.
Carry on Jatta 2 is technically and visually any day better than Carry On Jatta,” shares the lead actor of both the films Gippy Grewal. The entire cast of the film including Gippy are aware of the expectation level from this film, which is way too high.
“You can look at it this way; the good thing about Carry On Jatta 2 is that it is a sequel of a cult film, but at the same time, this thing goes against the film. So much so even when I was promoting my previous film Subedar Joginder Singh, people would invariably ask me about Carry On Jatta 2,” adds Gippy Grewal.
The names of the characters from Carry On Jatta have been retained with a few changes here and there. The story of Carry On Jatta 2 is very present day, “It does not start from where we ended Carry On Jatta, it is a present day punch-to-punch comedy, which is a feature of Carry On Jatta as well. We’ve also tried to retain a few punches like Jaswinder Bhalla and Binnu Dhillon’s kala coat punch. We wanted the audiences to come with the taste of Carry On Jatta and leave with the rib tickling comedy of Carry On Jatta 2.”
New and peppy songs, stronger punches laced in comedy, Carry On Jatta 2 is the most awaited comedy film of 2018. This makes Gippy smile, “This is a happy and scary feeling as well. Making sequels of masterpieces is indeed a dicey decision. For instance my fans want to see the sequel of Ardaas and Manje Bistre, but I know, a sequel can either do better than a cult or ruin it, there is no third way out.”
