Now, the reports suggest that a sequel to the film is in talks. Director Vikram K Kumar revealed that the sequel will have a much better screenplay than the last one, which was lauded by many for its characterisation and plot.
‘Not creating a part two for the sake of it’
Director Vikram K Kumar revealed while speaking to a news publication that the sequel was under discussion back when the first film was under production phase. The director, however, did not confirm whether the story will tell the tale of the first part’s development or the history of the same. The film is expected to have a pounding screenplay similar to the first part, and for the same several drafts are being created. The process is taking time because the director is not happy with what he has written, he said.
Kumar wishes his work to be impeccable this time, as per the interview. Kumar revealed that he does not want to bank on the receding success of 24 and create a movie just because the first part was good. He finished by saying that he wanted to put together a great movie even this time.
