‘Phobia’: Makers of Radhika Apte starrer already have an idea for a sequel

Pavan Kirpalani’s ‘Phobia’ starring Radhika Apte will be hitting the screens tomorrow. But the director already has an idea to make a sequel of the film and in ‘Phobia 2’ he has decided to explore fear of flying.

Pavan said, “When I narrated the idea of ‘Phobia’ to Eros International, I had the first and second movie in mind conceptually. I know in what space I want to do the second film but I don’t have a proper story in place.”

In ‘Phobia’, Radhika’s character suffers from Agoraphobia (an extreme or irrational fear of open or public places). In the sequel of the film, Pavan wants to explore the fear of flying.

The directed stated, “One of the things that I am most petrified of is of flying. I have fear of flying and I think lot of people have it. People are worried about the germs that we hear are being spread, terrorism, plane getting hijacked or disappearing or malfunctioning and crashing.”

“Anything can go wrong while in plane. There is nothing I can do besides just sitting on my seat and praying I don’t die. I am always worried when I am in plane. What adds to the paranoia is that you can’t escape,” he added.

Though he has a concept for the sequel, he says that it’s too early to talk about the casting of ‘Phobia 2’.

“It is too early to talk about actors… whether it would be male or female in the lead. Or will it be phobia of flying or something else. It is all hypothetical. The main thing I am worried about is that the film should be appreciated. As only then I will have a chance of making a sequel. If it’s not appreciated there is no chance of a sequel,” the ‘Ragini MMS’ director said.
