Sujoy Ghosh is the person to look at out for. The filmmaker desires to remake his Kahaani in numerous languages. While Tamil, Telugu or even English versions of the year's sleeper blockbuster are at the anvil, we hear the sequel to Kahaani is now a throbbing reality.
Secretly unknown to the world, Ghosh have been feverishly penning the sequel. And now just when the English, Tamil, Telugu versions of Kahaani are within the pipeline, producers Viacom 18 and Ghosh are ready to start out the sequel. And so they need to waste no time in carrying the franchise forward.
In fact after Viacom 18 heard of proposed projects in 3 languages of Kahaani, they immediately got in contact with film's co-producer Jayanthilal Gadha to talk about how the remakes would affect the sequel.
"Only after Viacom and Gadha were convinced that the sequel would under no circumstances be suffering from the remakes did the method of promoting remake rights go forward. Viacom was very clear at the issue. The sequel is not going to and must never be suffering from the remakes," says a source very just about the project.
However a tug 'o' war between the remakes and the sequel is currently on.
Says a source with regards to the project, "Sujoy who's with regards to Aditya Chopra and Yashraj Films have been asked to be closely related to the English-language version of Kahaani. But with Sujoy completely committed to Kahaani 2 and consumed in writing it, his possibilities of participating in any of the Kahaani remakes may be very slim. Viacom 18 are very clear at the issue. They would like the sequel not to get suffering from the remakes. Sujoy is busy writing the sequel and has cracked an concept".
While details on Kahaani 2 are awaited two components was locked in by Viacom 18: Vidya Balan and Sujoy Ghosh. The script we understand, will move out of Kolkata and take Vidya's character to a fully new setting.
While further details are awaited, Vikram Malhotra of Viacom 18 admitted, "WE'RE going ahead with the sequel to Kahaani. That's all I WILL BE ABLE TO reveal on the moment."
