Sources suggest that it was while working on ‘Satyagraha’, Jha conveyed his idea of making a prequel to ‘Gangaajal.’

A source close to the filmmaker revealed - "During the making of Satyagraha, Prakash Jha had discussed the idea of a prequel with Ajay Devgn. He loved the concept and told him to go ahead with it, and Jha told his team of writers to start working on the script. Ajay is currently busy with Prabhudeva's ‘Action Jackson’ but he is in touch with Jha about the developments in the script."

Devgn and Jha have worked together earlier in films like ‘Raajneeti’ and ‘Apaharan’.

As per the reports, the ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’ director, Maneesh Sharma, is believed to have approached Shah Rukh over a film script and has already had a few rounds of meeting with the superstar.

Confirming the news, a close source revealed – “Shah Rukh spends 7-8 days to go through a script by doing a detailed interaction with the director. Sharma too got ample of time with the actor while narrating the script. Shah Rukh hasn't taken a call yet but he is interested to do the film. If all goes as per planned, Sharma's this film will be produced by Red Chillies Entertainment."

SRK has signed many projects off late. Hence, it might be a long wait for Maneesh Sharma, before his film goes on floors.
