MUMBAI: Right now busy with his upcoming film Department, Ram Gopal Varma has evinced keen interest to make a sequel of his 2004 thriller Ab Tak Chhappan.

The story of Ab Tak Chhappan revolved around Inspector Sadhu Agashe played by Nana Patekar, from the Mumbai Encounter Squad, famous for having killed 56 people in police encounters.

While Ab Tak Chhappan was directed by Shimit Amin, RGV has roped in one of his old associates Sahil Saple because he felt Amin made the earlier film go overboard as per the production cost was concerned.

Reportedly, Varma drove down to Pune to convince Nana Patekar to star in the sequel to which Patekar agreed.
