Vishal Bhardwaj written and Meghna Gulzar directed ‘Talvar’ won critical acclamation all over the country. The film based on real life incident starred Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen in the lead. After penning down the National Award-winning screenplay for this film based on the double murder high profile case of Aarushi Talvar, Bhardwaj is gearing up for another one. Junglee Pictures and the director are taking the franchise forward with Talvar 2 based on last year’s murder of seven-year-old (Pradhyumn Thakur), Ryan International School incident. The case had brought up the safety issue of the children in school and seriousness of juvenile crimes. The makers are all set to throw light upon another crime story with the second installment.

TOI quoted the Haider director saying, “Talvar was about much more than the heinous crime itself, the film held up a mirror to society and exposed several loopholes in the system.” He further added, “ Such crimes shake the very moral fabric of society and need to be analysed in a much deeper sense. The world is not just black and white, there’s more to a crime than just victim and perpetrator. That’s why we have decided to continue making true crime procedurals like Talvar.”

“Our journey on Talvar was more than just a film for us. It is a telling example of how big screen stories, when handled honestly and sensitively, have the power to alter the lives of people associated with the real incident. We are excited to embark on our vision of compelling storytelling, yet again with Vishal Bharadwaj,and taking the Talvar franchise forward, " says Priti Shahani from Junglee Pictures.
