Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar was a smash hit at the box office. Now, the director Venky Atluri has revealed that the sequel is in the works and will be announced soon. 

Lucky Baskhar was a smash hit at the box office and catapulted Dulquer Salmaan to superstar status in Telugu cinema. The film grossed over Rs 100 crore and made director Venky Atluri a sought-after name. He is currently directing a film with Suriya in the lead, and the shoot is progressing at a brisk pace.

Venky has been giving multiple interviews recently, and in one of them, he confirmed that plans for Lucky Baskhar 2 are underway, with the scripting already in progress. The crime thriller ended on an intriguing note, with Dulquer’s character and his family shifting base to the U.S.

Speaking about the sequel, Venky revealed, “I never wanted to make a sequel. But seeing the crazy response and given the film's open ending, I felt there was scope for the story to continue. My team has already started working on it, and it will surely be one hell of an entertainer.”

Dulquer Salmaan played a bank employee who executes a major crime and becomes wealthy. As the cops close in, he cleverly escapes to the U.S. Meenakshi Chaudhary played the female lead in the film, which was produced by Naga Vamsi under the Sithara Entertainments banner.

On the other hand, Venky was also asked whether his other hit film Sir with Dhanush would get a sequel. The director clearly stated that there are no plans for a Sir 2.

As of now, Venky is focused on the Suriya project, which he describes as a proper family entertainer packed with drama. Mamitha Baiju of Premalu fame plays the female lead, and two schedules have already been completed. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.
