Since its release on the 29th of March, ‘Crew,’ starring Kriti Sanon, Tabu, and Kareena Kapoor, has been stealing hearts with its blend of wit and wild hijinks. The comical tale of three “badass” air hostesses caught in a tangle of peculiar circumstances has captivated audiences and critics alike, eliciting calls for more. In response to the clamor, Kriti Sanon revealed in an interview with PTI, the potential for a sequel is on the horizon.
“People have been loving it. We would genuinely love to be back and do something fun,” Sanon communicated with palpable excitement. The actress understands that with the sequel’s demands comes the daunting challenge for the scriptwriters to deliver, but she remains optimistic, buoyed by the positive reception of the film. She highlights the audience’s role in propelling the desire for a sequel—when the love is overwhelming, the makers feel an urge to create more of the beloved content.
Sanon emphasized that success should pivot on the quality of the content rather than gender-oriented narratives, envisioning a box office landscape where male and female-centric labels do not dictate a film’s performance. She reiterated the significance of content that resonates, regardless of whether the lead roles are filled by men or women.
Sanon also lauded the film’s distinctive casting. “It doesn’t have to be led by a man to pull the audience to the theatre,” she asserted, pointing out the rarity of movies top-lined by a trio of women, each a decade apart, with robust and distinct storylines. This unique combination, she believes, has brought forth a chemistry that the audience deeply appreciates—evident in the fervor with which ‘Crew’ has been embraced.
About ‘Crew’: A comical flight into the unexpected
‘Crew’ unfolds the story of three women who navigate the turbulent skies of the struggling airline industry. The film fuses humor with chaos, charting a course through a labyrinth of unintended deceptions. Tabu, Kareena, and Kriti, the film’s star power, don the roles of air hostesses with a rebel streak, engaging in shenanigans from petty theft of peanuts to audacious schemes for financial gain.
Throughout their adventure, the finesse and glamour of these three protagonists are never compromised, making for a viewing experience that is as stylish as it is hilarious. ‘Crew’ is produced by the established banners, Balaji Telefilms and Anil Kapoor Film & Communications Network.
Originally scheduled to premiere on March 22, the decision was made to delay the release of ‘Crew’ to avoid box office competition with the films ‘Madgaon Express’ and ‘Swatantra Veer Savarkar.’ This strategic move clearly paid off, as ‘Crew’ enjoys unobstructed airspace to soar in theaters and into the hearts of moviegoers.
As discussions of a sequel take flight, fans and curious onlookers wait with bated breath for official confirmation. If Sanon’s sentiments are any indication, the cast, much like the crew of a standby flight, is ready to board and embark on another cinematic journey that promises even more laughter, camaraderie, and, of course, glamor. The potential return of this spirited ensemble could set a new precedent for female-driven narratives, offering audiences films where gender becomes an afterthought and content reigns supreme.
