Sriram Raghavan still doesn’t know how Andhadhun became his most loved film. But he isn’t doing a sequel. “There are no plans for a sequel to Andhadhun. Kuchh cheezen adhuri hi achhi lagti hain (some things are better left unfinished).”

Sriram Raghavan on Andhadhun sequel, “If we find the right story, why not? However…”

The internet has been going berserk with a demand for a sequel to one of their favourite thrillers, which completed six years on September 5.

However, in an exclusive chat with me Sriram Raghavan, who is in Amritsar shooting for Ikkis, said he has no plans of going back to Andhadhun. “I mean, sure, I love the fact that the audience is so attached to Andhadhun. But everyone associated with the film has moved on. Hemanth Rao, who co-wrote the film with me, is now making his own films. I was stunned by what he has done in Sapta Sagaradaache Ello. I am very proud of him,” he said.

However, Sriram is also not saying no to the Andhadhun sequel. “I am not ruling it out,” he said. “In fact, today when it completes six years would have been the right time for a reunion of the Andhadhun team. If we find the right story for the sequel, why not? However, we can’t just do a sequel for the doing’s sake. If we do that, the fans who are now demanding a sequel, would be at our throats for letting them down. Andhadhun is a cult film now. We have to respect its status and not rush into something like Andhadhun Ka Baap, or whatever.”

I asked Sriram if he is happy to have Andhadhun as his signature film. He said, “I am happy it is liked so much. But I am equally proud of my other films. My last film Merry Christmas is as important to my career as Andhadhun. And I hope Ikkis will get the same love as my other films,” he said.
