A sequel to Vicky Donor in the offing

Vicky Donor (2012), which launched immensely talented Ayushmann Khurrana in Bollywood, is considered a path-breaking film which dealt with the taboo topic of sperm donation. Almost 8 years after the release of the movie, rumours are rife in Bollywood corridors that a sequel to the blockbuster film is being planned.

Made on a shoestring budget of around ₹ 10 crores, the film raked in over ₹ 62 crores worldwide. It was produced by actor-turn-producer John Abraham and was later acquired by Eros International.


Reportedly, John is not willing to make a sequel to the film as, after the success of Vicky Donor, he had had some disagreement with Eros International over profit sharing. The sequel, if happens, will be bankrolled by producer Anand Pundit.

“While John never spoke about the reason for the disagreement, it was being said that he was not happy with the share of profits given to him. So, John did not want to do the sequel with them. Now, Anand Pandit has come on board and has acquired the title Vicky Donor 2 under his banner.”

The original film was helmed by Shoojit Sircar and also launched Yami Gautam, besides Ayushmann Khurrana. It is yet not clear whether Sircar will come onboard to direct the sequel or not.

More details are awaited.

Simone Ashley cut from Brad Pitt’s 'F1' as director confirms her storyline was removed

Simone Ashley, best known for her breakout role in Bridgerton, won’t have the screen time fans expected in Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula 1 film F1. Despite being part of the film’s promotional buzz and having filmed scenes alongside the main cast, Ashley’s role was trimmed down to a blink-and-miss appearance with no dialogue.

Director Joseph Kosinski confirmed the change, stating that the edit came down to tough decisions made during the final cut. Speaking in an interview, he said, “Every movie has more content than it can use. We had to drop two or three storylines for pacing. Unfortunately, Simone’s was one of them.”
