Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar's Chandni Bar, which was released in 2001, recently celebrated its 24th anniversary. The film graphically depicted the lives of Mumbai's bar dancers and earned Tabu a National Film Award. A sequel to the film has also been announced. Producer Sandeep Singh has acquired the rights under his banner and will be making Chandni Bar 2 with Ajay Bahl. However, the most intense buzz surrounds the casting for the lead role-a character stepping into the shadow of Tabu's iconic Mumtaz.
