'Aatma' yet to release, but sequel already in pipeline

Filmmaker Suparn Verma is all set to for the sequel of Bipasha Basu and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer 'Aatma'. Cashing in on the trend of sequels, the makers of the film are keen on making a second part of the horror film. "Aatma 2 is definitely happening. Kumar Mangat, our producer, has asked me to write a script for it (part two)," Verma told reporters here at the launch of 'Aatma', which will hit theatres on March 22. The director said Bipasha and Nawazuddin were his first choice for this film. Nawazuddin, 39, who is basking in the glory of hit films like 'Talaash', 'Gangs of Wasseypur', 'Kahaani' and others, insists that he looks for playing different roles. "As an actor I want to do different roles. As far as this film is concerned I liked my role and script. I could relate to the role. The film is not only horror but there is an emotional triangle in the film between parents and children. Emotions are an important factor of this film," Nawazuddin explained. Same was the case with leading lady Bipasha, 34. "I liked my role and hence agreed to do the film," she said. Considering the film's plot, the makers created an atmosphere at the launch function that resembled the theme of the film.
