A sequel to romcom Ishq Vishk in the offing

Bollywood buffs are going to see many sequels and remakes in 2019 and 2020. Looking at the frequency at which new sequels and remakes are being announced in B-town, we can safely say the trend is here to stay.

Now a new sequel has been confirmed. After 16 years of its release, Tips Films’ Ishq Vishk (2003) is set for a sequel. The movie, directed by Ken Ghosh, launched Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao in Bollywood and was one of the biggest hits of 2003.


Producer Ramesh Taurani, who produced the film, confirmed the development. “Yes, we are making a sequel to Ishq Vishk. The story is in the scripting stage and could be about a teenage romance. Hopefully, in the next two-three months, we will lock the script and start looking for the director and cast,” said the director.

Just like the original film, the sequel will also feature fresh faces. Since Ken Ghosh is busy with other commitments, a new director will be signed to helm the sequel.

Water demand sparks questions around shoot logistics

The upcoming pan-Indian film Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, has reportedly run into a logistical challenge ahead of a key shooting schedule. According to reports, the production team sought a substantial number of water tankers for an underwater sequence being prepared at a specially constructed set near Gaganpahad in Hyderabad.

It is claimed that around 150 tankers, each carrying 10,000 litres, were requested from the city’s water authorities. However, the request was reportedly turned down due to ongoing summer shortages and increasing demand for drinking water across Hyderabad. There has been no official confirmation from the makers, though the reports have circulated widely online.
