The historical animated film of 2014, Chaar Sahibzaade that depicted the bravery of the 10th Sikh guru Guru Gobind Singh and his four sons, is now all set to have a sequel. But this time around the film will portray the journey of the Sikh military commander Banda Singh Bahadur.

Born as Lachman Das (also Madho Das), Banda Singh was a disciple of Guru Gobind Singh who also gave him the named 'Banda Singh Bahadur'. The film takes forward the battle led by Guru Gobind Singh against the Mughal Empire, with Banda Singh taking the lead after the demise of the 10th Sikh Guru and his sons. Banda Singh Bahadur is known for abolishing the zamindar system and he also fought against the Mughals from 1708 - 1716 but was later captured by them during the battle of Gurdaspur and tortured him to death.

Harry Baweja revealed that it was the success of the first installment of Chaar Sahibzaade that inspired him to take forward the franchise and hence he decided to continue the story based on true events once again. According to him, animation should be used to honour the sacrifices done by these legends and hence he decided to make this sequel. He also mentioned that the film will be bilingual and will be released in Hindi too.
