Apne starring Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol released in 2007. It was a hit at the box office, and from the past few weeks, there have been reports about a sequel to the film. Bobby Deol had also confirmed that Apne 2 is happening, and today on the festival of Guru Nanak Jayanti, the movie has been officially announced.


Sunny Deol took to Instagram to announce Apne 2. Along with a video, he posted, “Babaji ke aashirwaad aur aapke pyaar ki wajah se aaj hum vapas ek sath nazar aayenge. Feeling blessed to get a chance to work with my father, brother again this time with my son. #Apne2, in cinemas Diwali 2021. @aapkadharam @iambobbydeol @imkarandeol @anilsharma_dir @sohamrockstrent @deepakmukut.”

Tax reforms threaten Britain’s family firms as financial strain deepens

Highlights

  • Family businesses make up 90 per cent of UK private firms and employ 13.9 m people.
  • Nearly 50,000 businesses now in critical financial distress, up 21 per cent year-on-year.
  • Ethnic minority businesses contribute £74 bn annually despite facing funding barriers.
Family-owned companies, the backbone of Britain’s private sector, are warning that looming inheritance tax reforms could cripple investment, drive jobs overseas, and weaken an economy already battling rising financial distress.
Ranjit Singh Boparan started with a small bank loan and a butcher’s knife. Today, his 2 Sisters Food Group employs 25,000 people and supplies chicken and ready meals to almost every major UK supermarket. He notes that family businesses like his have been forgotten by the government.

“To get the UK economy going you’ve got to use family businesses as the backbone of it, not the BlackRocks or the Vanguards,” Boparan told The Times. He says overseas investment giants “will come in, they will take and they will go. He adds they have no allegiance to the country.” Boparan describes the proposed changes as “horrific” for family businesses and warns they threaten food security as companies think twice about investing.

Family firms make up 90 per cent of all private sector companies in the UK and employ 13.9 million people. These businesses contributed £575 billion to the economy in 2020, accounting for 51 per cent of all private sector employment.
