The makers of ‘Husharu 2’ are taking the popular franchise into a fresh setting while retaining the youthful entertainment that defined the 2018 original. Officially announced as the sequel to ‘Husharu’, the film brings together friendship, ambition, comedy and adventure in a world that promises to be bigger and more unpredictable.

Their search for a fresh beginning takes them to Chittragunj, where they pursue an unusual business opportunity involving an agave-based tequila distillery. The makers are keeping the larger developments under wraps, giving audiences only a glimpse of the unusual journey awaiting the friends.
