It seems that director Govind Nihalani is gearing up to make a sequel to the critically acclaimed film, which also starred Smita Patil and Sadashiv Amrapurkar. Confirming the news, Nihalani said that he wanted to explore the fate of Om Puri’s character Anant Welankar, who kills ganglord Rama Shetty (played by Sadashiv Amrapurkar) in the climax scene of Ardh Satya before surrendering himself to the police.
Nihalani said that the sequel will start off with Welankar coming out of prison as an old man after serving his sentence. The director also claimed that he was confident about roping in Om Puri to reprise his role as Anant whereas veteran actress Shabana Azmi might play the female lead.
