Director
Saad
Khan
in
a
recent
interview
with
the
Hindu
spoke
at
length
about
the
highly
anticipated
sequel
of
Humble
Politician
Nograj.
The
filmmaker
will
be
bringing
back
the
much-loved
character
portrayed
by
Danish
Sait
in
the
form
of
a
web
series.
The
show,
in
all
likelihood,
will
premiere
in
either
May
or
June
next
year.
Speaking
about
the
massive
success
of
Humble
Politician
Nograj,
Saad
said,
“It
meant
a
great
deal.
It
was
a
tough
project
from
every
angle.
We
were
converting
a
social
media
character
to
the
big
screen.
It
is
a
political
satire.
We
did
not
know
how
people
were
going
to
accept
it.
We
were
jittery
before
its
release.
But
the
first
three
weeks
were
houseful.
There
were
a
bunch
of
10th-grade
children
who
saw
the
film
six
times
and
sent
pictures
of
ticket
stubs
to
me.
So,
I
accompanied
them
for
the
seventh
time.
These
things
are
etched
in
my
memory”.
The
director
confessed
that
he
always
had
the
idea
for
a
sequel
or
spin-off
on
his
mind.
On
being
quizzed
about
the
challenges
of
writing
for
a
series,
Saad
stated,
“A
feature
film
has
a
hook
that
comes
in
the
climax.
But
in
a
series,
every
episode
should
have
a
cliffhanger.
Today,
there
is
so
much
content
out
there
that
if
your
first
or
second
episode
is
not
engaging,
people
are
not
going
to
watch
it
the
third”.
He
went
on
to
add,
“The
writing
took
about
six
months.
Also,
in
a
film,
you
have
to
introduce
the
main
characters
in
the
first
10
minutes.
But
since
the
series
is
10
episodes,
we
can
pace
it
slowly.
And,
it
is
about
politics
—
the
comedy
is
already
out
there”.
