Sinha says he took some cues from Pakistani dramas for the second part of the.film.

"My favourite dramas are Ankahi, Tanhaiyan and Dhoop Kinare. A lot of the screenplay in Tum Bin has been inspired by her television serials and a few of the critics and industry members who saw the first installment were quick to notice this similarity.

"The second installment too is inspired in someway from Pakistani dramas because I feel the way they tell a story is sublime," Sinha said in a statement.

The news comes at a time when there are debates whether Pakistani artistes should be banned from working in India amid tensions between India and Pakistan following the September 18 terror attack which killed 19 Indian soldiers.
