Dibakar Banerjee to make Byomkesh sequel on Aditya Chopras say-so

29 Oct 2016

Sequels are always offshoots of success. For the first time well see a sequel to an unsuccessful film, and that too of a very costly failure. Dibakar Banerjees Detective Byomkesh Bakshy which was a box office disappointment earlier this year is now being treated to a sequel and that too on the say-so of the producer Aditya Chopra. Confirming this Dibakar says, Aditya Chopra is keen that we carry Byomkeshs story forward. Detective Byomkesh was always planned as a series of films based on the stories of Sharadindu Bandopadhyay. Sushant Singh Rajput who played the Detective went all-out to bring to life the character and was deeply disappointed when all his efforts went unrewarded. But Sushant has not lost his enthusiasm for the Dhoti-clad Kolkata detective investigative zeal. We are all very excited about the Byomkesh sequel, says Dibakar.
