Rhea Kapoor confirms sequel for Crew was proposed a week after they finished shoot: ‘I might actually just do it’

Rhea Kapoor, co-producer of Crew, says she's “scared” of sequels, but the open ending of the box-office hit leads organically to a Part 2.

For fans complaining that Rajesh A Krishnan's heist comedy Crew ended too soon, they may be in for a pleasant surprise. In an interview to Variety, co-producer Rhea Kapoor confirmed that they have an idea for a sequel and are contemplating turning the film into a franchise. Crew stars Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles. (Also Read – Crew box office collection day 11: Kriti Sanon, Kareena Kapoor and Tabu-starrer sees dip, might cross ₹60 crore)

What Rhea said

Kriti Sanon, Tabu, and Kareena Kapoor may return for a sequel to Crew

“I really get scared of sequels, I’m so afraid of them, Ekta (Kapoor, co-producer) gets so annoyed with me… but this is the first film where I finished the film and a week later, my writers have messaged me and told me that they have an idea for the sequel. I was like, this is crazy. This is insane. There’s so much excitement and joy around this film that this time I might actually just do it. But I actually think that this film could make a really fun sequel because the end is open ended,” said Rhea.

Rhea and Ektaa also confirmed that they're working on a sequel to their 2018 buddy film Veere Di Wedding, which starred Kareena, Swara Bhaskar, Sonam Kapoor, and Shikha Talsania in the lead. They claimed that the box-office success of that film prompted them to make a bigger movie with women in the forefront and release it on a holiday weekend (Easter).

Earlier, Kriti told PTI in an interview that she's hoping to reunite with Kareena and Tabu for a sequel. “People have been loving it. We would genuinely love to be back and do something fun. Obviously, it puts a lot of pressure on the writers... It's the audience that motivates the makers for a sequel. When they love something so much, you feel you can definitely do something next. So, hope so,” she said.
