Meghna Gulzar directorial Raazi proved to be not just a commercial and critical success but also a game changer for everyone associated with the film. Toplined by Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, the spy drama bagged major film awards both on critical as well as commercial ends. With such an enormous success, it was inevitable for questions regarding its sequel to surface across media. Giving an answer to these questions, Meghna, during an interview with an entertainment portal denied planning a sequel to Raazi.
Meghna said, not the film but the book on which Raazi is based on - Calling Sehmat will be getting it a sequel. " No, I think a sequel to the book is coming out, that would be the starting point for whatever has to begin (sequel) if it happens. Right now, I have other films in mind. For me, as a filmmaker, what we wrote in Raazi completed Sehmat’s journey," Meghna told during the interview. Alas! For now, there ain't a sequel to Raazi coming up, but anything can happen in the future.
