And I had many sequences in the film with Big B about whom I had so much of reverence. It was a great learning experience for me. Technically I did learn a lot from RGV’s angles, but with Amit Ji I was able to understand how you could be effective even when you have no dialogues. Amit Ji would express only through his eyes’ says Sudeep.
RGV is just following the recent trend in Asian film industries mainly like the Japanese and Korean film industries where making sequels to a successful supernatural thrillers and achieving success out of it has become a fashion. The sequel Phoonk 2will start from where the original Phoonk had ended. . However the sequel to Phoonk will be directed by his associate Milind. “He worked with me in Phoonk and he wrote the script for this sequel.
