Filmmaker Anil Sharma was supposed to direct 'Apne 2', starring Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Karan Deol. However, in a recent interview, Sharma said that without Dharmendra, it is not possible to make the film. He said, "Apne to apno ke bina nahi ho sakti. Without Dharamji, it’s impossible to make the sequel."
