NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUI TO STAR IN PHOBIA 2

Radhika Apte's psychological thriller, Phobia was one of the most critically acclaimed and appreciated films of 2016. Even though the film didn't exactly rake in the big bucks at the box office, it's the appreciation which has pushed the makers to plan a sequel. And it seems that the franchise might just get a whole lot bigger with none other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui stepping into Radhika's shoes for the second part.

While the first part followed the story of Mehak (Radhika), a girl suffering from agoraphobia (fear of opened spaces), Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be playing the victim of aviophobia (fear of flying). Viki Rajani, the producer of the film confirmed the news to a leading daily and said, “After Nawaz had wrapped up Munna Michael, we met at his residence and jammed on this script. He immediately gave his nod. Phobia will always have a high-calibre actor as performance is paramount. Nawaz suits this character perfectly.”

He went on to inform that the film will start with Nawaz boarding a flight and the entire movie is set on a plane. “We will begin work on a set once we lock the dates,” says Viki, pointing out that the shoot will begin either in October or in February after Nawaz finishes Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan’s sci-fi space adventure Chanda Mama Door Ke in which he plays an astronaut.

Meanwhile Nawaz has an interesting line-up of films coming up including Munna Michael, Manto and Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. Which film of Nawaz's are you most excited about? Tell us in the comment section below!
