MUMBAI: Almost a month before Jannat 2 opens on the silver screen, Vishesh Films, the makers of the Emraan Hashmi-starrer, has planned to turn it into a franchise with a third instalment.

Averred producer Mukesh Bhatt, "We intend to take the franchise forward. There will be another film in the series. We would have Jannat 3 as well. As we plan to make it a franchise, like how the first part was about cricket, Jannat 2 is about illegal arms trade. The other stories in the series will be on different subjects."

While Jannat starring Emraan Hashmi revolved around betting in cricket, ‘Jannat 2‘ is about illegal trading in arms and ammunition, again featuring Emraan.

Jannat was released during IPL in 2008 and even now Jannat 2 would be hitting the screens during the fifth season of the cricket tournament.

The makers are confident about the fate of the sequel at the box office. "We are sure that audience will like the movie. No matter what would be the fate of the film, we would still make the third part," Bhatt said.
