Fans of the high-flying heist-comedy Crew have reason to celebrate. Kareena Kapoor Khan is confirmed to reprise her role in the highly anticipated sequel, Crew 2, while the participation of Kriti Sanon and Tabu remains under wraps. The news comes just over a year after the original film’s successful theatrical release in March 2024, which brought a fresh mix of comedy, thrills, and style to audiences.
The franchise potential
According to insiders, the producers see enormous franchise potential for Crew. A source revealed, “Crew as a franchise has strong potential to lead itself to a franchise. The team have brainstormed several ideas, and finally zeroed down on one which has the potential to seamlessly lead itself into a Crew 2.”
While Kareena is onboard, the other two original stars have yet to confirm their involvement. The insider added, “Kareena has already shown interest in Crew 2, and is waiting to hear the full screenplay before signing the dotted lines. Things are in the nascent stages at the moment, but the entire team is excited to take the franchise route for Crew.”

Behind the scenes: The making of Crew 2
Produced by Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, the original Crew introduced audiences to the world of air hostesses running a crime ring, blending sharp comedy with crime drama. The sequel is expected to retain the franchise’s signature style — glamorous, daring, and fast-paced.
Kareena, meanwhile, is keeping busy with multiple projects. She is currently shooting Dayra with Meghna Gulzar and is in talks for several other films, including early discussions about a potential Veere Di Wedding sequel.
The buzz and speculation
The main intrigue around Crew 2 lies in its cast dynamics. Will Kriti Sanon and Tabu return, or will new A-list actresses join Kareena to form a fresh ensemble? This uncertainty has only fueled excitement.
Some industry critics speculate that replacing the original duo could be a calculated risk, potentially reshaping the franchise’s chemistry. Others argue that Kareena’s star power alone can carry the sequel, but die-hard fans hope to see the reunion of the iconic trio.
Final thoughts
Crew 2 is shaping up to be one of Bollywood’s most talked-about projects of 2025. With Kareena confirmed and a potential new ensemble, the sequel promises high-octane action, stylish heists, and star-studded drama.
While details remain under wraps, one thing is clear: the sky-high crime saga is ready to take off again, and fans are counting down the days to see where Kareena and the Crew will take us next.
