Yami Gautam’s thriller, ‘A Thursday’ released today on Disney+Hotstar,and the actress is seen playing a grey character in the movie.
However, there were speculations that Yami Gautam’s ‘A Thursday’ movie is a sequel to Naseeruddin Shah’s ‘A Wednesday’ movie.
While talking about the same with Pinkvilla, Yami clarified that her movie is not a sequel to ‘A Wednesday’.
She says, “To make it very clear, talking about ‘A Wednesday’, again which Ronnie (Screwvala) backed and Neeraj (Pandey) sir directed, and one of the best-written scripts, one of the best-made scripts, the story, the screenplay, the performances…it was a path-breaking film for that time. I think the obvious reason people are feeling, you know, is it a ‘spiritual’ sequel is the title, and the fact that of course, it’s Ronnie who’s backing this as well. But to clarify, no it is not a sequel of any kind to ‘A Wednesday’”
Yami added “There is no reason for ‘A Thursday’ to be a sequel to ‘A Wednesday’ as that would open up an endless discussion. “There’s no need for this film to be a sequel of ‘A Wednesday’ because it’s already a cult film. Why would you want to set out and create something, or anticipate that, and just open up a discussion which has no end and absolutely subject to your perspective? As somebody who has been part of the film, as somebody who has written the film, directed and backed this film, you would want this film to be experienced for what it is. You like it, you don’t like it – absolutely your choice, but we wouldn’t want that to happen because that won’t be correct way to view a film.”
