Director Guddu Dhanoa has confirmed that he is making a sequel to his 2000 movie "Bichhoo" -- but says instead of the original lead pair - Rani Mukerji and Bobby Deol - he will cast fresh faces for part two of the suspense thriller which is likely to go on the floors in September or October.

"Yes, I am making a sequel to 'Bichhoo'. The script is ready and we are finalizing the star cast for the film, " Dhanoa told.

"The sequel to 'Bichhoo' will not have Rani and Bobby. It will have a fresh star cast. We are planning to cast some established stars but can't talk much until we make an official announcement on the same, " he added.

When asked why he took so long to come up with a sequel, he said: "When 'Ghayal Returns' can come after 20 to 25 years, then why not a sequel to 'Bichhoo'. We can plan a sequel at any point of time, it's a creative call."

The film is titled "Bichhoo 2" and it will not be a continuation of the original.

"No, it will not be a continuation of 'Bichhoo'. It's a fresh film which will be called 'Bichhoo 2'. The film will go on floors by September or October and will be entirely shot in Mumbai and Bangkok, " said Dhanoa.
