Shekhar Kapur working on 'Pradhanmantri 2'

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, who had a stint on Indian television with "Pradhanmantri", says he is now working on a second season of the show.

Kapur had hosted the show, which chronicled changes in the country during the tenures of various Prime Ministers.

His plans for a new season emerged after a social media user tweeted: "Watching 'Pradhanmantri' for the second time. Excellent narration by Shekhar Kapur sir. Storytelling that is reminiscent of early India. Thank you for your contribution."

The filmmaker commented: "Will be coming up with 'Pradhanmantri 2' soon. Hope you like that too."

IANS contacted Kapur about the project, and he said: "It is under development."

The politics based documentary series was aired on a Hindi news channel.

In an earlier interview to IANS, Kapur had said he was surprised by "how popular it became".
