MUMBAI: A sequel to the hit horror film ‘Chhorri’ is in the works with actor Nushrratt Bharuccha and director Vishal Furia returning for the installment.
‘Chhorri’ featured Nushratt in the role of Sakshi, a pregnant woman caught in the heart of terror as she attempts to save her unborn child from the monsters that exist in the normal and the paranormal world. Buoyed by the overwhelming response that ‘Chhorii’ received, the producers, T-Series, Crypt TV and Abundantia Entertainment, have decided to take the franchise forward and showcase the next chapter to its fans.
The sequel, tentatively titled ‘Chhorii 2’, is set to pick up Sakshi’s story from where it left off in the first film and will bring back some key characters as well as introduce new scares, promising to be even more terrifying than the first edition. Nushrratt, who will return to play the role of the protagonist, Sakshi, spoke about the sequel and said, “I am over the moon with the amazing reactions and success that Chhorii has met with! Chhorii was a significant departure from the work I had previously been a part of and to see the risk being rewarded is such a great feeling. Chhorii is a passion project for all of us and I cannot wait to engage with Vishal and the team as we take the story forward with Chhorii 2.”
