Time for sequels

Madhur Bhandarkar wants to revisit `Chandni Bar' and `Page 3'

Madhur Bhandarkar is not content making his trilogy - Page 3, Corporate and Signal. He wants to venture further and jump on the bandwagon of sequel makers. He wants to revisit two of his successful films — Chandni Bar and Page 3. Madhur tells us, "I've registered the titles Chandni Bar 2 and Page 3 - Part 2." Will the sequels star the same principal actors who've worked in the earlier films?

"It's too early to say anything. Because I haven't worked on the stories yet. I just felt that Chandni Bar has the potential for a sequel. And Page 3 is an idea that can be revisited again. As of now, I am winding up Corporate and starting Signal. Only after a year or so will I begin work on the sequels," explains Madhur.

What made him register the titles before the story has even taken shape? "Well, many people do that. Any film-maker can register the title. And instead of someone else registering these titles, it's better for me to do so," he quips. Was this move a result of a number of sequels being made in Bollywood today? "Not really," he shrugs.
