After a hiatus he returned in 2002 and relaunched his son in another
film in the style of his classic 1970s films Nagin and Jaani Dushman
titled Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani. However, upon release it was a
box office disaster and was heavily criticised. As well as copying his
own 1970s films, the film copied scenes from The Matrix, Terminator 2:
Judgment Day, Mission: Impossible 2 and The Mummy. He has not directed
any film since then.
