Mumbai, Jun 16 (PTI) The
makers of Akshay Kumar-
starrer 'Rowdy Rathore' may
come up with a sequel to the
just-
released action film.
Akshay's 'rowdy' avatar has
become an instant hit with
the fans and has kept the cash
registers ringing at the box-
office.
The film has joined the Rs 100-
crore business club.
And, inspired by its roaring
success, the makers are
planning
a sequel.
"As of now, we want to
celebrate success. Be it sequel
or prequel, we want to sit down
and discuss. Sanjay Leela
Bhansali, Akshay Kumar, Prabhu
Deva...we all will sit together
and decide," the film's producer
Siddharth Roy Kapoor told
reporters here last night.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, one of the
producers of 'Rowdy
Rathore', said "We are definitely
thinking about a sequel."
Asked to react on filmmaker
Vidhu Vinod Chopra's
recent comment about "rubbish
films" making Rs 100 crore,
Bhansali said, "He (Chopra) is my
mentor. If he has said
something like this, then I am
happy."
Directed by Prabhu Deva,
'Rowdy Rathore', a remake of
the 2006 Telugu hit
'Vikramarkudu', marked
Akshay's comeback
to action films after seven years.
"People must be happy and that
is what really matters.
I will continue making action
films. Within one or two week
the announcement (about
sequel) will come from
production
house," Prabhu Deva said. PTI
