Ram Gopal Varma believes 'Phoonk 2' is scarier than 'Phoonk'. This compliment has thrilled debutant director Milind Gadagkar. So, Milind not only promises a spine-chilling fare, he also wouldn't mind doing a third installment of the flick. He has therefore left the ending of 'Phoonk 2' open and doesn't rule out the possibility of another installment. It would be interesting to see how audiences react to 'Phoonk 2' though. There were some positive reactions after people saw 'Phoonk'. Milind was the writer of 'Phoonk' but he had a different vision about the horror thriller he wanted to tell as compared to the way Varma had translated it on screen. And so he came up with the idea of a sequel.
Ever ready to encourage new filmmakers to test their vision, Varma asked Milind to helm the project himself and direct the sequel. 'Phoonk 2' is complete and ready for release and takes off from exactly the same point where 'Phoonk' left. Describing the film as chilling, Varma has hailed the sequel as the scariest film that Bollywood has ever made. The first theatrical promo of the movie is to be unveiled with 'Veer' on January 22, 2010.
