Omkara's Langda Tyagi is Back! Spin-Off Movie Officially in Scripting by Drishyam 2 Producers!

One of Bollywood’s most iconic and darkly charismatic villains is officially getting his own feature film! Sources confirm that the highly anticipated Langda Tyagi spin-off movie, based on Saif Ali Khan's legendary character from Vishal Bhardwaj's 2006 cult classic Omkara, has officially entered the scripting phase.

 

The project is being helmed by celebrated producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, the father-son duo behind massive box-office hits like Drishyam 2 and Raid.

 

The Return of an Iconic Villain

 

Since Omkara’s release 19 years ago, the character of Langda Tyagi, inspired by Shakespeare’s Iago, has remained a fixture in pop culture. Saif Ali Khan’s nuanced, menacing, and National Award-winning portrayal set a new benchmark for antagonists in Hindi cinema.

 

Producers Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak have revealed that the enduring audience love for Langda Tyagi is what spurred the idea for this Bollywood spin-off.

 

"The character of Langda Tyagi has stood the test of time, and 19 years later, we felt it was time to explore his world in depth. We came across an idea that organically leads itself to the world of Omkara, and more so, Langda Tyagi," a source close to the production shared.

 

 

What to Expect from the Langda Tyagi Prequel

 

While specific plot details are under wraps, industry buzz suggests the film will serve as a Langda Tyagi prequel or origin story. The narrative is expected to delve into the character’s past—exploring his background, the evolution of his cunning nature, and how he became the menacing, foul-mouthed figure audiences remember.

 

The project is currently in scripting with the aim of going on floors in 2026. The production house is keen to ensure the story is a fresh yet authentic expansion of the Omkara universe.

 

 

Will Saif Ali Khan Reprise the Role?

 

The biggest question on every fan's mind is: Will Saif Ali Khan return as Langda Tyagi?

 

While the casting details are being kept strictly confidential until the final script is locked, the possibility remains open. A source stated, "That's a secret, which will unravel once the script is locked. Saif Ali Khan might just make a return to the world of Omkara, or the makers could choose to rope in a younger actor to explore the origin story, making it a reboot in the truest sense."

 

Regardless of who steps into those shoes, the news of the Langda Tyagi spin-off is a major win for fans of gritty, dark cinema and a testament to the unforgettable impact of Saif Ali Khan’s original performance.
