A sequel is not only the one which carries the same actors, director and the same production banner but also sticks by the characterisation of the various roles. This concept has been side-lined by the makers of last year’s hit comedy Golmaal.
The sequel to Golmaal is completely different and has the characters playing different roles then what they played in the prequel. This has disturbed Arshad Warsi, who played one of the main leads in the film.
Says Arshad, “The second Golmaal has nothing to do with the first. There’s a new script with new characters in the second film. I’ve a totally different role from the first one. And I’m not fully sure right now whether I want to do it. That’s what I was asking the director Rohit Sippy. There’s no need to give the same title to two different films. Why unnecessarily make audiences feel they’re returning for the same experience when they’re not in any way related.”
One thing that has to be kept in mind that the success of the sequels is attributed to the success of the characters in the series of the same title films. Films with the same characters and the same style but with a different storyline is a sequel.
