The most successful film of 2007 till date, Bheja Fry has not one but two sequels lined up. Sagar Ballary, Bheja Fry director has expressed his plans to come out with Bheja Fry 2 and 3. The most unexpected hit of this year, the Rs 55 lakh budgeted film had amassed Rs. 10 crore at the box office.
The young director tells us, "Yes we are going to make Bheja Fry sequels but not right now. After I am done with Kachcha Limboo, I shall be going ahead with Bheja Fry 2 and 3. Bheja Fry has been a success and it doubles our responsibility to match up to it in its sequels. We will have to work very hard on its script and humour."
So what is he going to show us in these sequels? "Well, you will get to see that Bharat Bhushan's (Vinay Pathak, who played the Idiot in Bheja Fry) journey reaches a different destination. I had certain ideas during the making of Bheja Fry which I will be carrying forward in these parts. In fact I had even thought about the part 3's concept before part 2's.
Shall we get to see the old characters from the first film like Rajat Kapoor and Sarika in these sequels? "It will depend as per what the script demands. If they fit in the proceedings, then definitely they shall be a part of it"
About Kachcha Limboo he tells us, "The pre-production work is going on and we are working on its casting. We are on the look out for a very fat but active kid who is around 12-13 years of age. We are also looking out for some girls studying in the 8th or 9th standard."
