Shooting of Sagar alias Jackie is progressing in Dubai and other locations in UAE
Sagar alias Jackie - Reloaded, made with a budget of five crores, is scheduled for release on 26th March, 2009 as Vishu release. Planned as a sequel to Mohanlal's 1987 blockbuster Irupatham Noottandu, it is produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Ashirvad Films. Scripted by S.N. Swamy, who also did the scripts for the original, Sagar alias Jackie - Reloaded is cinematographed by the director himself.
The original (Irupatham Noottandu) was about Sagar alias Jackie (Mohanlal), a smuggler who runs a clandestine gold smuggling business for Shekharan Kutty (Sureshgopi), son of the State Chief Minister. Later, Jackie stops his smuggling business and spends his personal time pining for a girlfriend (Urvashi). Meanwhile, Ashwathy (Ambika), a reporter for a news magazine, publishes a sensational article connecting Jackie to the Chief Minister. It creates an uneasy relationship between Sekharan Kutty and Jackie, leading to their open confrontation. In the climax, Jackie guns down Shekharan Kutty.
In the sequel, Jackie, after killing the Chief Minister's son, escapes from India to Dubai where he gradually becomes a big underworld don. However, he returns to Kerala as his enemies try to trap him in an explosives case. How he sorts out his problems and vanquishes his enemies is the story in a nutshell.
