Myth that sequels, franchise films safe to make: ‘Raid 2’ director Rajkumar Gupta
MUMBAI: (Apr 17) It's a common belief that sequels and franchise movies come with a built-in safety net, says “Raid 2” director Rajkumar Gupta.
Gupta is returning with a sequel to his 2018 blockbuster hit “Raid” that featured Ajay Devgn in the role of IRS officer Amay Patnaik.
“I don't think anything is safe, that's a myth that making the second part will be safe. Unless and until it calls for a sequel and you have to have a story for that, I don't believe in an easy way out. Sequels are working and there is no rocket science to that. They are working because of familiarity,” the director, known for critically-acclaimed films like “Aamir”, and “No One Killed Jessica”, told PTI in an interview.
