The iconic Gangs of Wasseypur franchise, known for its raw and gripping portrayal of crime and politics in the coal mafia of Dhanbad, might be returning with a third instalment. Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the two-part saga had made a deep impact on Indian cinema, gaining a cult following over the years. And now, actor Jaideep Ahlawat may have just hinted at something big on the horizon.
On March 24, 2025, News24 reported that Jaideep Ahlawat — who played Shahid Khan in the original film — took to Instagram and posted a story with his co-stars Manoj Bajpayee (Sardar Khan) and Nawazuddin Siddiqui (Faizal Khan). Accompanying the nostalgic image was the legendary dialogue from the film: “Baap ka, Dada ka, Sabka…” followed by three heart emojis.
While there has been no official confirmation from the makers, fans are already buzzing with excitement, dissecting the post and speculating a potential reunion for Gangs of Wasseypur 3. Social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter are filled with hopeful theories. Many are calling it a “coded message” for a sequel announcement, while others see it as a simple meet-up among cast members.
The franchise, widely considered a landmark in Indian cinema, was praised for its storytelling, performances, and realistic depiction of power struggles in small-town India. A third part could potentially dive deeper into the aftermath of Faizal Khan’s reign or even explore a fresh narrative tied to the original plot.
Is this just a nostalgic throwback or a teaser of something bigger? While fans wait for an official word from Anurag Kashyap or the production team, the possibility of Gangs of Wasseypur 3 has certainly reignited interest in one of Bollywood’s most iconic crime sagas.
One thing’s certain — if the third installment is truly in the works, the anticipation will be sky-high.
