It���������s raining sequels in Bollywood now. While ���������Jism 2���������, ���������Jannat-2���������, ���������Raaz 3��������� and ���������Dhoom 3��������� are hitting the headlines and grabbing eyeballs, Tollywood too is slowly getting into the picture-abhi-baakihai mode. After ���������Paglu������������������s makers announced a sequel to the film, buzz is that Raj Chakrabarty���������s ���������Challenge��������� too will soon have a Part II.Breaking away from his usual romantic mould,
Dev, who played the lead in the original, will be seen in a full-on action hero avatar in ���������Challenge 2���������. The film, to be directed by
Raja Chanda, will be shot extensively in foreign locales. So, will the movie take the story of ���������Challenge��������� forward?
Shrikant Mohta from the production house says, ���������I���������m not too sure whether the film will be titled ���������Challenge 2���������, but storywise, it will not be a sequel to ���������Challenge���������. There���������s a lot of stress on the word, ���������challenge���������.���������
Prod him on this and he says, ���������The film will be a challenge for Dev, Raja and also the production house. Dev needs to break away from his lover boy image to pull off a different role. Raja���������s challenge would be to deliver his best as ���������Challenge��������� was a superhit film and the audience will want something new from him. For the production house, it would be a challenge to package action in an entirely new way."
Despite the film���������s success, Raj is not on board ���������C2���������. Shrikant reasons, ���������While going through the script, we thought Raja would be the best person to direct it. Subhashree was also a part of the original, but for ���������C2���������, we are looking for a fresh face.���������
