It's been a year since Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane-starrer 'Haseen Dillruba' released on OTT. The film revolves around a woman who finds herself entangled in the murder of her own husband.
While the first film ended with the cops unable to solve the mystery and Taapsee’s character eloping with Vikrant, who turned out to be alive, with the actual victim being their co-star Harshvardhan Rane, a report by Mid-day suggests that the makers are working on a sequel.
Naturally, given the fact that the film ending on an open note, the audience is eager to know what happens with Taapsee and Vikrant, now that they’re on the run, since the cops assume the latter is dead.
A source informed the daily, “There is interest in the film because it broke into the Indian market in a way that no other Hindi movie on Netflix was able to. Its success can be attributed to its story and pulpy treatment. The producers and the streaming giant are pursuing the idea of a sequel. Writer Kanika Dhillon is toying with the idea of picking up the narrative from where the first part ended.”
Recalling writing on the film's script, Kanika Dhillon had recently told ANI, "Haseen Dilruba is a very special film not only because it got so much love from the audience all across- but for the first time I was able to explore the Hindi pulp fiction genre! for the first time I had people asking me -can we buy a Dinesh Pandit book from stores?... it absolutely thrilled me because it's a fictional character I created and it felt amazing that people were looking for him and seeking him out in real life! I am really looking forward to explore the world of pulp in Hindi cinema and bring forth more stories in this milieu."
Directed by Vinil Mathew, 'Haseen Dillruba' premiered on Netflix last year. Filmmaker Aanand L Rai backed the movie through his banner Colour Yellow Production in collaboration with Eros International and Himanshu Sharma.
