In the season of sequels, Shahid Kapoor-starrer `Kabir Singh’ is all set to get a second part.
According to Pinkvilla, producers Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani have decided to spin Kabir Singh into a franchise.
“I think our film Kabir Singh can definitely be spun into a franchise. It’s an iconic character and can be taken into a second part,” said Kumar.
“Yes, the character is so popular that we should think of a story for him,” Khetani added.
Earlier in 2019, Kabir Singh fascinated moviegoers so much that it had even crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office. However, the movie eventually raked in bad publicity with film critics and social media users condemning Kapoor’s role in the movie, labeling it as “vile” for glorifying misogyny and toxic masculinity.
Apart from Kabir Singh 2, Khetani said they are also wishing to make Aashiqui 3. Even though Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was released just two days ago, its success has got the producers working for its third franchise already. “We are definitely taking the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise forward. There is enough scope in the premise and we will announce more details at the right time,” the duo exclaimed in sync.
The producer pair definitely enjoys working together. Khetani and Kumar are also gearing up for their upcoming release, Animal. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial, which stars the groom-of-the-year Ranbir Kapoor in a lead role, reportedly holds “all elements for a big-screen watch.”
“It’s a very interesting script and has got all the elements for a big-screen watch – heroism, music, entry, interval block, father emotion, mother emotion, scale, and action. Sandeep Reddy Vanga understands the sensibility of Hindi-speaking audiences since he comes from the South. Actually, their sensibility is in sync with the kind of films we made in the 1970s and 80s,” shared Kumar.
