Is Sooryavansham 2 Happening? Here’s What We Know About the Sequel to the Cult Classic

For years, it has been more than just a film—it’s become a household ritual. If you’ve ever found yourself aimlessly flipping through TV channels and stumbled upon Sooryavansham airing on Sony Max yet again, you’re not alone. The 1999 drama starring Amitabh Bachchan in a powerful double role has etched itself into Indian pop culture history, especially through satellite TV.

But now, it seems the tale of Heera Thakur and Thakur Bhanupratap Singh may not be over yet. Whispers of a sequel have suddenly turned into loud buzz, thanks to a cryptic but viral Instagram post by Sony Max. So—is Sooryavansham 2 really happening?

Let’s break down everything we know so far.

The Legacy of Sooryavansham

Directed by E.V.V. Satyanarayana, Sooryavansham is a Hindi remake of a Tamil film that resonated across generations. The film follows the emotionally charged story of Heera, a simpleton son (played by Amitabh Bachchan) trying to earn the love and respect of his stern father, Bhanupratap Singh (also played by Bachchan). With themes of familial duty, sacrifice, and resilience, it has become one of the most frequently broadcasted films in Indian satellite television history.

What makes Sooryavansham so iconic isn’t just its narrative—it’s how deeply it has been embedded into Indian living rooms through endless re-runs. For many, it’s a movie they didn’t plan to watch, but somehow always ended up watching.

Sony Max Teases a Sequel

The excitement around Sooryavansham 2 began with an unexpected Instagram post from Sony Max. In a dramatic caption, the channel hinted at a sequel, stating:

“Aapne ye aate hue nahi dekha hoga, par yeh aa raha hai… Aa raha hai #Sooryavansham2 sirf aur sirf Sony Max par!”

The post suggests that Sooryavansham 2 is on its way—and that Heera may return. While it remains unclear whether Amitabh Bachchan will reprise his role, the confirmation of a trailer in the works has sent fans into a frenzy.

Who Holds the Rights? A Tug-of-War Behind the Scenes

Interestingly, the situation surrounding the sequel is more complex than it seems. Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms, who acquired the rights to the original film in 2020, revealed that Sony Entertainment Television only held satellite rights until 2024 or 2025.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, he clarified:

“Once the rights lapse, I’ll play it on my channel, Goldmines Bollywood. I am not selling the rights to SET MAX again.”

This statement has raised questions. If Sony Max no longer retains exclusive rights, how is it teasing a sequel? Is the channel simply marketing a re-release or an original production inspired by the original characters?

A Theatrical Re-Release or a Fresh Chapter?

There’s also speculation that Sooryavansham might be re-released in theaters. However, Manish Shah was quick to clarify that he does not hold the theatrical rights and isn’t currently planning a re-release—unless major stars support the marketing. Referencing the success of re-releases like Karan Arjun, he emphasized the role of star power in reviving old classics.

That means unless Amitabh Bachchan himself comes onboard to endorse the sequel or re-release, the project’s reach may remain limited to television or streaming platforms.

Sooryavansham 2: What Could the Story Be?

While plot details are tightly under wraps, Sony Max’s teaser leaves room for speculation. Will the sequel focus on Heera’s grown-up children? Will it explore a new generational conflict echoing the themes of the original? Or will it dig deeper into the strained relationship between Bhanupratap Singh and Heera?

One line from the teaser—“Kya is baar Bhanu Pratap Singh aur Heera Thakur karenge ek naye sire se shuruaat, ya padegi unke rishte mein daraar?”—hints at familial discord and potential reconciliation, the same emotional tension that made the original unforgettable.

Is the Return of Heera Thakur for Real?

While no official confirmation has been made regarding the cast or production details, Sooryavansham 2 is certainly more than just a rumour now. Sony Max’s bold marketing move has already stirred nostalgia and curiosity among fans, especially those who’ve grown up watching the original on loop.

Whether it turns out to be a direct sequel, a reimagining, or simply a tribute broadcast, one thing is clear: Sooryavansham continues to live on in the hearts—and screens—of Indian audiences.

And if Heera Thakur truly returns, this time we’ll be watching intentionally—not just by accident while flipping channels.
