While currently it is said that either Hansal Mehta or Vishal Mahadkar will directed the film, the cast remains the same with Rajkumar Yadav playing the lead in the film.

That 2012 began with an overwrought hyper-melodramatic brutal and tumultuous remake of Agneepath and ended with Yash Chopra’s muted mellow all-heart-no-malice ode to romance Jab Tak Hai Jaan seems indicative of the direction that Bollywood seems headed for. The journey, as we can see, is unpredictable and largely exciting. Looking back, some films of 2012 that fetched hype-star ratings seem bloated and over-eager to please either critics or the masses, but never both. Luckily the films that were truly meritorious did get a place under the swoon.
Each year Bollywood surprises us, and not always in a good way. 2012 seems like a watershed year even by the continuously evolving standards of filmmaking set by envelope-pushing directors who have filtered into filmdom during the past years. 2012 was the year when Tigmanshu Dhulia, Sujoy Ghosh and Shoojit Sircar came into their own with films that took mainstream cinema to new heights.

Mumbai: Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Blood Money’ directed by Vishal Mahadkar will be out soon, the scheduled release date is 30th of March, 2012. Mahesh it seems is not very happy with the current title. If he had had his way, the film would have been titled ‘Kalyug 2’ instead of ‘Blood Money’.
Indeed he meant to, but was forced to relent after being staunchly opposed by director Vishal and actor Kunal Khemu. The justification they gave is quite sensible. The Bhatt camp is already making ‘Raaz 3’, ‘Murder 3’, ‘Jism 3’, ‘Ashiqui 2’; so it made sense to try and keep an original title like ‘Blood Money’.
‘Blood Money’ is the story of a small-time boy (Kunal Khemu) who elopes with his girl (actress Amrita Puri of ‘Aisha’ fame) to Cape Town where he enters into a diamond.
