We all know that Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster is back with a great cast, and the well pruned Tigmanshu Dhulia has promised us something more exciting now that he has played around with the original characters a little more.

Women use sex as a weapon: Tigmanshu Dhulia

As a warm up to the real thing, he declares that all the characters in the film have their own hidden agendas, and in achieving their ends they aren’t hesitant on cradling the most vicious strategies.

After the fairly successful 2011 film, the new film features the old Saheb (Jimmy Shergill) along with his alcoholic Biwi (Mahie Gill), and the new Gangster Irrfan Khan and his love interest Soha Ali Khan. While the film is expected to release on the 8th of March, Tigmanshu Dhulia has been quite vocal about the characterization and plot that he wants us to watch out for.

As a warm up to the real thing, he declares that all the characters in the film have their own hidden agendas, and in achieving their ends they aren’t hesitant on cradling the most vicious strategies. On the other hand, there is the quintessential romance that in a way adds more venom to this tale of diplomacy and deceit. However, Dhulia asserted: “In my films, sensuous scenes are never written to titillate the audience. They go with the story. Sensuality has been toned down in the sequel as one also needs to think of satellite rights. Censorship curbs creativity.”

In Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, the Saheb’s angst with his alcoholic Biwi turns to conceit for she has now become a legislator, which alters the film from being a bedroom drama, as in the earlier film, to a conflict that is “high on politics and deceit”. Both the Saheb and Gangster are of royal lineage, the latter is out to take revenge and the former desires to hold ground. “Soha also plays a significant role. Her character is the catalyst; the film is driven by her tragedy. The story is not a love quadrangle. Women use sex as a weapon and that takes the film ahead.”
