Radhika Apte might be just a few movies old in Bollywood, but with her stellar performances and strong screen presence, Radhika has made her mark in the cinema industry.
Her critically acclaimed film ‘Phobia’ that spoke about a woman who has a rare phenomenon of a disease called agoraphobia, where a person faces an extreme or irrational fear of open or public places, is said to be getting a sequel. Since Bollywood is suddenly all about the biopics and sequels, this is a great time to venture into something like this and making a follow-up of a movie which doesn’t fall under the commercial category.
As per reports in a leading daily, the makers of ‘Phobia’ are keen on making the sequel a big budget one with a leading star. Apparently, the makers will touch upon the subject of Aviophobia (fear of flying) in ‘Phobia 2’.
Since ‘Phobia’ had Radhika Apte playing the protagonist, as per reports, the sequel will have a male lead. ” I am doing Phobia 2, but this time it’s with a male lead. The script demanded a male lead. The film was critically acclaimed and it made to the list of top ten films of 2016. So, we want to get someone who can pull off that kind of performance ,” Viki Rajani of production house Next Gen Films Pvt Ltd told a leading newswire.
The makers have reportedly locked in the script and the movie is said to go on floors soon. ” There will supporting actors as it’s on a flight and about phobia of flying, ” Viki said.
