Is a Sequel to ‘Crew’ on the Way?

Kriti Sanon opened up about a possible sequel to Crew (2024).

In the film, Kriti played Divya Rana – an air hostess for the fictional Kohinoor Airlines.

She also appeared alongside Tabu (Geeta Sethi) and Kareena Kapoor Khan (Jasmine Kohli).

Delving into a possible sequel, Kriti said: “People have been loving it. We would genuinely love to be back and do something fun.

“Obviously, it puts a lot of pressure on the writers. It’s the audience that motivates the makers for a sequel.

“When they love something so much, you feel you can definitely do something next. So, hope so.

“It’s nice to see the response to the content. Then, it doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman.

“It’s just the content that was loved, something which the cinema should actually aim for.

“Where box office numbers don’t depend on a male-centric film or female-centric film and it’s about only content.

“It doesn’t have to be led by a man to pull the audience to the theatre. But we haven’t seen a film with three women.

“Here, you have three women belonging to different generations, almost a decade apart with solid, unique roles.

“People also love chemistry and I am so happy about it. It’s a trio that people had never imagined and that’s what made it exciting.”

Meanwhile, Bhumi Pednekar recently revealed her dislike for the phrase ‘female-led projects’.

She explained: “There is a misconception that people are not immediately drawn to watch films or content headlined by women.

“Such projects are immediately bracketed as ‘female-led projects’.

“This is an annoying term and I hate it from my gut. Gender doesn’t define people’s watching preferences.

“The audience wants to see good cinema and good content. They aren’t choosing to watch it based on gender. It’s ridiculous.

“If that was the case, I wouldn’t have survived and I have built a career out of essaying remarkably strong women on screen!

“I got lucky because I started working at a time that coincided with how women characters were being written for cinema.

“There were author-backed roles written for me.”

“I was fortunate that directors liked my performances and chose me to headline in some of these incredibly beautiful projects that showed women as agents of change.”

Kriti Sanon previously admitted that she did not feel like a junior on the sets of Crew and added that she found it a “pleasure” to work with Tabu and Kareena.

Crew was released on March 29, 2024. It has currently earned over Rs. 70 crores (£6 million) at the box office.
