Munjya director Aditya Sarpotdar teases sequel

Filmmaker Aditya Sarpotdar, whose horror-comedy Munjya recently released, said the story has the potential for a sequel.

The audiences will get to see an upgraded version of Munjya, the young ghost at the centre of the story that revolves around a Marathi folk legend, the director added.

"In the sequel to the film, you will get an upgraded version of him because there would be a bigger budget," Aditya said.

The film, starring Mona Singh, Sharvari and Abhay Verma, is doing well at the box office and has earned over Rs 20 crore in the first weekend of its release.

Sharvari, who has a key role in the movie, is happy that now she is getting interesting projects whether it is Munjya or her role in the upcoming YRF Spy Universe.

"I feel confident and I am grateful. I am going to do my next project with a little more confidence now because it has my favourite actor Alia Bhatt. For an actress, who is just one film old to be a part of two such big projects of Maddock horror Universe and YRF Spy Universe (is great)," she said.

The film’s lead Abhay Verma said working on the film was not just an opportunity but a "blessing".

"One would like to wait for such opportunities and this wait lasted for one and a half year for me," he added.

Munjya released last Friday.
