The Opinionated Indian published a blind item that claimed that fans of a popular onscreen couple celebrated after news broke that they would come together again for a movie sequel to their successful film. The male superstar will return to the project, but the production team has not yet decided on their female lead because the first-choice actress is now uncertain about her commitment to the role. The long-anticipated project will start its filming process this month.
Blind Item
Fans of this onscreen couple were delighted to read about them starting work on the sequel to a hit movie. The shoot is expected to start by the end of this month. The original movie went over budget & starred an A-list Bollywood couple who started dating while working on this movie. They later got married. The hero will be seen in the sequel, but his wife won’t be the heroine of the sequel. As per a source, the Bollywood Queen, who was supposed to star in the sequel, is having second thoughts about starring in the movie. She recently announced her pregnancy & is working on a pan-India movie. She is wondering whether she will be able to finish shooting for the Bollywood movie. Besides, she is not keen on being directed by the filmmaker whose last movie met a lukewarm response at the box office despite starring big names. The sequel will be bankrolled by a studio that is producing the male superstar’s next release – a big-budget period epic movie.
The report indicated that the creators face difficulties because they want to start their production work immediately, but need to wait for the actress to decide before they can choose the female lead. The report states that the most difficult aspect of scheduling work arises because she has started a new personal life stage, while she has already committed to multiple professional responsibilities. The team will either wait for her to become available or they will start searching for different actresses to cast in the project, according to industry experts.
The sequel exists as a personal project for the director and the lead male actor because they have wished to bring back the successful franchise for many years. The second part of the movie faced obstacles because the first installment exceeded its budget and took longer to complete, which made multiple studios hesitant to finance the project. The production team plans to move forward with the project now that a new production company has shown support for it, which will enable them to prevent any additional delays until they start filming.
