The Force actor Vidyut Jamwal’s Commando-Rambo act in director Dilip Ghosh’s Commando has been received with heartwarming gusto by the public. And as it becomes clear that Jamwal is the new action hero of Bollywood, plans to carry the <em>Commando</em> tale forward are now being concretized. South African action director Franz Spilhaus (of <em>Dredd</em> fame) who worked on all the breathtaking stunt pieces of <em>Commando</em> has been asked to take Jamwal’s action to the next level. Spilhaus has asked producer Vipul Shah to send video-recorded stunt-pieces performed by Jamwal.

The one who is most relieved and happy is director Neeraj Pandey who had his fingers crossed about the success of his second feature film.

The sequel entitled <em>Aankhen Chaar</em> will feature the same main characters as well as the same supporting characters, though some of the actors would be different.
