The film will go on floors in the second half of 2016.
Though Govinda and Chunky Pandey haven't been retained for the sequel, we hear they may make a guest appearance in it.
As for Chunky Pandey’s role, the makers have decided to rope in a newcomer whom producer Pahlaj Nihalani discovered on a flight.
While an official announcement on the long-awaited sequel is awaited, a source close to development reveals, "Aankhen 2 will take the story forward. The main characters Bunnu and Munnu will remain the same but the actors will change."
