The trailer of an upcoming film Lust Stories, which is said to the sequel to Bombay Talkies is out. Back in 2013, four of the most successful filmmakers of Indian cinema such as Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee came together to celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema and released a film titled Bombay Talkies. The film featured four short stories and featured a huge cast like Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Rani Mukerji, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Randeep Hooda, Saqib Saleem, Ranveer Shorey, Vineet Singh etc. However, Bombay Talkies got a big blow at the box office and ended up becoming a flop movie.
Now, five years after Bombay Talkies, the same four directors Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee have reunited for a film titled Lust Stories. The film was earlier called as Bombay Talkies 2.
