R Balki on working again with Bebo, Arjun

Five years ago, when Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor’s Ki &Ka opened, it made the audience sit up and underline the fact that a woman could well be wearing the pants at home, and the man can choose to manage the home front. The film dealt with the emotional upheavals of reversing socially accepted roles played by both sexes in a marriage. It challenged the existing gender dynamics through the story of a young, urban couple. Arjun, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the film, took to his social media account and hinted at a possible sequel to the movie.
When Bombay Times spoke to filmmaker R Balki, who directed, produced, and wrote the film, he said, “Ki & Ka is special because it was released around my producer Anil Naidu’s birthday. Anil is no more and I miss his presence in a big way. It’s one of those films that happened so organically and so fast. Bebo, Arjun, and I had a great time working together. In fact, we have spoken about working together again many, many times after that. As for sequels, I have never made a sequel for any of my films before, for numerous reasons. Come to think of it, when we first made Ki & Ka, we had to explain a lot of things in detail. Today, if I was to make a sequel, it would be simpler to handle, with fewer explanations to offer about the way things are because things have really changed a lot around us. Having said that, I don’t have thoughts about making a sequel. Only when Bebo and Arjun were talking to me yesterday did it strike me that there could really be a sequel here. Let’s see! If an idea comes up then, maybe…we will think of it.”
When asked what he plans to make next, R Balki, who had directed Akshay Kumar’s PadMan in 2018, says, “I will be starting my next film in July. I can’t talk about it just yet but I have the details underway. Let’s hope it goes as planned.” Source From : Times Of India
