Fans who felt that the heist comedy Crew, starring Rajesh A Krishnan, ended too abruptly might be in for a nice surprise. Co-producer Rhea Kapoor revealed in an interview with Variety that they are thinking about making the movie into a franchise and have an idea for a sequel. In the key parts are Tabu, Kriti Sanon, and Kareena Kapoor from the crew.
“I really get scared of sequels, I’m so afraid of them, Ekta (Kapoor, co-producer) gets so annoyed with me… but this is the first film where I finished the film and a week later, my writers have messaged me and told me that they have an idea for the sequel. I was like, this is crazy. This is insane. There’s so much excitement and joy around this film that this time I might actually just do it. But I actually think that this film could make a really fun sequel because the end is open ended,” said Rhea.
A sequel to Rhea and Ektaa’s 2018 buddy movie Veere Di Wedding, which stars Kareena, Swara Bhaskar, Sonam Kapoor, and Shikha Talsania in the key roles, is now in development. They said that the movie’s box office success inspired them to create a larger picture with more ladies and distribute it on Easter weekend.
“It’s a work in progress, but it’s happening and it’s exciting. It’s going to take a bit, but I feel like we’re getting there. It’s a rediscovery of what the spirit of Veere Di Wedding was, so it’s not going to be what people expect,” Rhea said, on the upcoming sequel to Veere Di Wedding.
Earlier, Kriti told in an interview that she’s hoping to reunite with Kareena and Tabu for a sequel. “People have been loving it. We would genuinely love to be back and do something fun. Obviously, it puts a lot of pressure on the writers… It’s the audience that motivates the makers for a sequel. When they love something so much, you feel you can definitely do something next. So, hope so,” she said.
