'Sanam Teri Kasam 2' to hit theatres next Valentine’s Day

The highly anticipated sequel to the 2016 romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam has been officially confirmed, with makers revealing significant updates about its release.

Following the successful re-release of the first film in theatres this February, the film's directors, Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, shared exciting news with fans.

The filmmakers stated that Sanam Teri Kasam 2 is almost ready and will likely be released on Valentine’s Day 2026. In an exclusive interview with India Forums, they revealed that the story of the first film was always intended to be told in two parts. The second part, they explained, has been prepared for some time, and they are confident in the direction the narrative will take.

The ending of the original film, which saw Harshvardhan Rane's character, Inder, approaching a tree with the voice of Saru (played by Mawra Hocane) echoing in the background, was deliberately crafted to pave the way for a sequel.

The filmmakers confirmed that the script for Sanam Teri Kasam 2 had been ready long ago, but the recent resurgence of the first film, following its re-release, had encouraged them to move forward with the sequel's production.

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, the directors assured that Sanam Teri Kasam 2 will be released next year, tapping into the romance-themed holiday. "We feel it’s the right moment, given how the first film has been received this Valentine’s," they said. "Part two is almost ready, and fans will get to experience the next chapter of Inder’s emotional journey."

Additionally, most of the music for the sequel is already in place, further building anticipation for the romantic drama's return to the big screen. The filmmakers expressed their gratitude for the loyal fan base the film has built since its 2016 debut and reiterated that they will honour the audience’s deep emotional connection with the characters.

Sanam Teri Kasam, starring Rane and Hocane, was initially met with mixed reviews but gained a cult following over time. The re-release earlier this month exceeded expectations, crossing its original box office collection within just two days. As one of the highest-grossing re-releases in India, the film’s resurgence only added to the excitement for the sequel.

The confirmed return of Harshvardhan Rane as Inder has further fuelled speculation around the upcoming film, with fans eager for more of the heartfelt romance that captivated them years ago. The makers have now officially announced the sequel, with the promise of "more" following the epic love story of the first film.

In other related news, Mawra Hocane, who starred opposite Harshvardhan Rane in the first film, recently tied the knot with actor Ameer Gilani in a private ceremony, sharing pictures on social media.
