Though fantasy movie Drona did not create magic at the box office, director Goldie Behl is happy with the positive reaction it has evoked among children.

This includes Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan and Goldie’s own son, Ranvir who were ecstatic after seeing the movie. A delighted Goldie Behl has dedicated the sequel of the movie to both these kids.

It is inspired by children’s reaction that Goldie Behl has already started work on the sequel. ‘It’s important for children to enjoy Drona. I’m glad Aryan enjoyed it. I made the film for children, not for those who like their cinema twisted and perverse…,” Behl said.

“…And all the children of our country who have to watch crime thrillers and sex comedies because fantasies are not made in the country. No matter what the outcome of Drona is at the box office, the sequel will most certainly happen,” he added.

Commenting upon the criticism, Behl said, “As far as we’re concerned we’ve made a film that dares to go into an unexplored genre. Critics are all the time complaining about our films being borrowed from foreign sources.

“When I’ve attempted something original, why shouldn’t I carry the story forward? Shah Rukh loved the film. He told me his son loved the film. My three-year-old son Ranvir saw the first film of his life at the premiere of Drona. And he couldn’t take his eyes off the screen,” he said.

Abhishek Bachchan, who played the title role in the movie, welcomes the idea of a sequel.
“It a very interesting possibility. And taking the story forward is an idea that we’ve planted into the climax of the story. I don’t see why we should change our minds,” said Abhishek who has been seen in sequels like Dhoom 2 and Sarkar Raj.

“It’s a new genre. There’re no reference points to Drona in the audiences’ movie-viewing experience. Initially, they were bound to be a bit confused, as we always are by something new. We were prepared for that,” said Abhishek.

The story of Drona’s son waiting to take his father’s role is waiting to be told. Goldie has apparently finished most of the script and will start casting soon according to sources. So question is will a big star be interested in taking such a big risk ?
