"Takatak" is one of the most loved comedies to come out of Marathi cinema in recent years. The film's laugh-out-loud humour was an absolute sensation among young people and the demand for a second instalment has been growing ever since.
The much-awaited sequel has been announced. "Takatak 2" will be released on August 19 in cinemas across Maharashtra. The original was a wild rib-tickling entertainer; the second part is being touted as a bolder and bigger bonanza of laughs.
The film will see Prathamesh Parab in the lead all over again, accompanied by Akshay Kelkar, Ajinkya Raut, Bhumika Kadam, Pranali Bhalerao, Komal Bodkhe, Sushant Divekar, Swapnil Rajeshirke, Kiran Mane, Pankaj Vishnu, Kiran Baird, RJ Mahesh Kale, and Smita Dongre.
Talking about the film, which was shot mainly in Goa, its director, Milind Kavde, said: "If 'Takatak' tickled your funny bone, the second part will make you guffaw even more. We have kept the soul of the original intact while bringing a sassier feel to the story, taking the humour one step farther."
Sources close to the crew reveal that an exclusive sneak peek of the movie is about to drop soon. If the love for the first film is anything to go by, audiences might just have found their next favourite comedy in "Takatak 2".
The film is being presented by Reliance Entertainment Studios in association with Purple Bull Entertainment and has been produced by Omprakash Bhatt, Reliance Entertainment Studios and Aditya Joshi.
The story and screenplay is by Kavde, the dialogues are by Kiran Berad and Sanjay Navgire, and the film also features the music of Varun Likhte, lyrics by Jay Atre, cinematography by Hazrat Sheikh Wali, and background music by Abhinay Jagtap. Nilesh Gundale is the film's executive producer.
