Director Anurag Kashyap must have finally heaved a sigh of relief. The director, whose gangland epic Gangs Of Wasseypur was treated with scepticism by the audiences of Dhanbad, where the story is set, has finally decided to welcome the sequel with open hands, it seems.
The filmmaker had been unable to show or promote the first part of the film in the region, infamous for coal mining mafia, as the audiences there had objections to the way the film had portrayed their area. However, now it seems that the film has pleased the viewers there, which has encouraged Kashyap to release the sequel titled Gangs Of Wasseypur 2 in Dhanbad and also conduct promotional activities in that region.
Where on one hand, Gangs of Wasseypur revolved around the life of Sardar Khan (played by Manoj Bajpayee), the sequel shall trace the rise to power of Sardar's son Faisal Khan (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). The film is slated to release on August 8 this year.
