/> Sunny Deol wants Yamla Pagla Deewana to be the Deol family's Golmaal. Like Rohit Shetty's franchise, Yamla...will have the principal actors playing the same characters in different adventures.Details are now being worked out for not just 1 but an ongoing series of films, as well as a television series based on the Deol characters in the film.

Contrary to rumours of a fall-out with the Deols, Samir Karnik is not only going ahead with a sequel to Yamla Pagla Deewana he has even cracked the idea for the sequel. Karnik who is in Dar-es-Salaam for a family get-together was suddenly hit with a brainwave while having a blast with his cousins about how to carry the story of the Deol family into a sequel.

He immediately called Sunny who was as excited and told Karnik, "Yeh idea to pehle wale se bhi dhansoon hain (this idea is even more exciting than the first film)."

Karnik who returns to Mumbai this week has already sounded his sequel idea to the Deols who like what they hear.

There's just one catch. Dharmendra who has obtained a new lease of life with Yamla Pagla Deewana has his own ideas on how to carry forward the story.Apparently Dharmendra wants his character Dharam Singh to move to Canada with his wife (Nafisa Ali) where he tries his best to be a decent husband and a law-abiding citizen but can't help reverting to his old crooked ways.

Karnik has no problems incorporating his Dharamendra's ideas into the sequel.

Speaking from Dar-es-Salaam the director who is finally seen success after 8 years of struggle says emotionally, "Dharam Paaji's ideas sar-aankhon par. He is like my father. He says I am his third son.Sunny and Bobby are like my brothers.

Of course I will incorporate Dharam Paaji's ideas. When I get back to Mumbai I need to sit down with my writer Jasvinder Bhatt and work out the details.We should have the sequel rolling by year-end."
