Shekhar Kapur confirms Masoom 2 filming to begin in 2025

Mumbai/IBNS: Veteran filmmaker Shekhar Kapur has confirmed the sequel to his iconic 1983 Hindi film Masoom casting among others the original pair of Nasiruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi. 

Kapur said he will begin the shooting in February-March 2025.

Speaking to ANI, the filmmaker said, "The script is ready, and I will start shooting from February-March. I was traveling from Dubai to Delhi, and I realized I had left the Masoom 2 script on the plane seat."

"But I got it back, and a flight attendant wrote me a note saying that Masoom was a very good film, and this one will be just as good. So, see, it came back even after being left behind- there must be something to it. It's destiny," he added.

Masoom, which was Kapur's directorial debut, was an adaptation of the 1980 Erich Segal novel Man, Woman and Child.

With Gulzar as the screenplay writer, Masoom was a tale of relationships, family bonding, infidelity, forgiveness and childhood.

The storytelling, songs and performance by the actors had won the hearts of the audience and critics.

The film starred Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi in the lead apart from a child Urmila Matondkar and Jugal Hansraj besides Supriya Pathak (in a cameo), Tanuja and late Saeed Jaffrey and Satish Kaushik. The sequel will also feature Naseeuddin Shah, Shabana Azmi alongside Manoj Bajpayee and Kapur's daughter Kaveri.

As per reports, Kapur is likely to retain the core values of Masoom despite a fresh storyline.
