The shooting of Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2 is going on in full swing in the city these days. Vidyut Jammwal, along with director Faruk Kabir have been shooting at the busy Qaiserbagh sabzi mandi these days. The film’s female lead Shivalika has also begun shooting. And while the first installment of the film had some interesting names such as Annu Kapoor, Aahana Kumra and Shiv Pandit as part of the cast, this time neither features in the film.Director Faruk Kabir informs, “The cast of Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2 is very interesting. I've taken a lot of time along with the casting director to put the right pieces together because this time apart from Vidyut and Shivalika, we once again have a stellar supporting cast in the film.”
