The upcoming movie Sanam Teri Kasam 2 is already in trouble before filming has even started. The romantic sequel, which fans have been waiting for, is now in the middle of a big controversy. Actor Harshvardhan Rane recently said he will not be part of the movie if his former co-star, Mawra Hocane, is involved.
Harshvardhan Rane Says No to Sanam Teri Kasam 2 If Mawra Hocane Returns
In a recent post on social media, Harshvardhan Rane said he would step away from Sanam Teri Kasam 2 if Mawra Hocane is cast again. The actor shared that he made this decision after seeing what he called “anti-India” comments made by Mawra online.
He posted,
“After reading the direct comments made about my country, I have made a decision to respectfully decline to be a part of Sanam Teri Kasam part 2 if there is any possibility of the previous cast being repeated.”
Rane also added that while he respects people from all over the world — even jokingly including “Mars” — he cannot support or work with anyone who says bad things about India. His decision comes during a time of rising tensions between India and Pakistan, making his statement even more serious.
Mawra Hocane Responds, Calls It a Publicity Stunt
Mawra Hocane, who is from Pakistan and was the female lead in the first film, has now responded strongly. She said that Harshvardhan’s statement is just a way to get publicity. According to her, he is using the current situation between the two countries to get media attention.
In her long social media post (shared by Filmibeat), Mawra wrote,
“I don’t know whether to call this unfortunate, sad or comical. Someone I expected to have basic common sense has risen from deep slumber with a PR strategy.”
She said it was disappointing to see someone she once respected act this way. Mawra added that her country is going through a hard time, with innocent lives being lost, and instead of supporting peace, Harshvardhan is using the moment to make headlines.
She continued,
“While our nations are at war, this is what you come up with… a PR statement to get attention??? What a pity!”
She ended her message by praying for peace and safety for both Indian and Pakistani civilians and soldiers.
What Does This Mean for Sanam Teri Kasam 2?
The public fight between the two lead actors has made fans worry about the movie’s future. After almost nine years, audiences were excited to see Harshvardhan and Mawra together again in Sanam Teri Kasam 2. But now, it looks like the reunion might not happen.
The filmmakers have not yet made an official statement. With such tension between the stars, it’s unclear whether the sequel will move forward, be recast, or get delayed.
Final Thoughts
This controversy has shocked many fans who loved the original movie. While political tensions often affect cinema, this time it has hit a fan-favorite love story hard. Whether Sanam Teri Kasam 2 will still happen remains a big question, but one thing is certain — the drama has already begun off-screen.
