Director Suparn Verma, who is all set to release his horror film Aatma, says the sequel has already been planned.
"'Aatma 2' is definitely happening," he said at the launch of the first look of
Aatma held Monday evening.
The film stars
Bipasha Basu and
Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Talking about how Nawazuddin came on board, the director said he had
met the actor and asked him to either take it up or suggest someone else
who would suit the role.
"I had met Nawazuddin and had told him that if he doesn’t decide to
do the film. Then he should tell me who else would be able to do it. He
heard the script and said yes," he said.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been seen in films like
Kahaani,
Gangs of Wasseypur and
Talaash. The actor said that it was the emotional angle that had attracted him to the film.
"This film is not only horror but has an emotional angle too which
attracted me towards it. I could feel the story as I also have a
daughter. The bonding between the parents and the child shown in the
movie attracted me towards it," Nawazuddin Siddiqui said.
Asked how much he could relate to the film, the actor said: "There
are many things which scare me. I am scared of Aatma. The film also
talks about a feeling which comes when you do something wrong. This
happens with me in real life as well."
The film is all set to release March 22.
