Following the surprise hit Prince, Kookie Gulati, the young director has decided to start Prince sequel. Ramesh Taurani, producer TIPS, who has financed the film confirmed plans to start off with Prince 2. Vivek Oberoi will now have some of the hottest mainstream actresses for the sequel and names like Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta and Sushmita Sen are being considered to play the three girls, this time.
Kookie Gulati cannot believe his luck because his film has had the biggest opening since My Name is Khan and is still drawing people to the theaters. Confirming this, Gulati says, “We had left the ending open, suggesting there might be more to the plot than what we had just seen. But there was just a hint of a fear. What if Prince fell flat on its face? What would people say about even suggesting a sequel?” Luckily the response to the film has been overwhelming. Kookie adds “I have an idea for the sequel which I’ll now develop. Since it’s the plot that has worked in Prince we’ve to make sure the sequel is even stronger in terms of content.”
A person from the team of Prince says, “When we approached the top leading ladies they all either said a straight no nor or begged off with the date excuse. They had no faith in the project. More importantly no top leading lady wanted to work with Vivek. On the day after Prince opened Vivek began to receive congratulatory SMS’s from some of the leading ladies who had declined to work with him in Prince.”
Vivek Oberoi confirms this indirectly, “I wouldn’t like to dwell on the past. All is good now. And I’d just like to concentrate on the positive things. Yes, we are making a sequel. In fact when we put in a suggestion of it in the first film we had finally decided to edit it out because it was vain at that point of time to think audiences would like our film enough to see a sequel.”
