Over the years, speculations about a sequel to Garam Masala have surfaced many times but fans are still waiting for an official announcement from the makers. The latest we hear that Garam Masala 2 is indeed on the anvil and John and Akshay have even discussed the idea.


In one of his recent interviews, when John was asked about the plans for a sequel to Garam Masala, he said, “I would love to do Garam Masala 2. Akshay and I have discussed it and we look forward to doing something like that. I still laugh thinking about it. It’s my favourite genre. I love comedy. I am a big fan of Anees Bazmi, David Dhawan, Sajid Khan but I need to be offered a good film. People think that comedy is the easiest thing to do but it’s the most difficult thing to make people laugh.”
