A Wednesday prequel in the making

If there's one film of 2008 that continues to be a hot favourite of most moviegoers even today, it's debutante director Neeraj Pandey's A Wednesday. The film was a major critical and commercial success, winning accolades and box-office rewards simultaneously.

The latest is, the makers are planning to make a prequel of this brilliant film. ''You've heard it right. We're toying with the idea currently. We're working out the modalities. How does it sound to you?'' an excited Neeraj Pandey asks.

Of course, A Wednesday was an outstanding effort and a prequel or a sequel is most welcome. Will the set of actors (Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher, Jimmy Shergill) star in the prequel as well? ''In all probability, yes. Plus, a few new actors might be added,'' Neeraj divulges.

Prequel, sequel or a new project altogether, we look forward to your new film Neeraj.
