9xe has it that Sujoy has approached Deepika Padukone for the sequel.
The actress' 2016 date diary looks largely empty right now and she might just give her nod to this film. Much like the 2012 hit, the second instalment too revolves around a strong female protagonist - something that should pique Dippy's interest.
After Kahaani, Sujoy hasn't really been able to kickstart a directorial venture - his Durga Rani Singh failed to take off, ditto for his adaptation of the Japanese novel, The Devotion Of Suspect X.
Now, things seem to be working in his favour as far as Kahaani 2 is concerned.
In 2013, Sujoy had a fallout with Kahaani producer Jayantilal Gada over the rights to the sequel but the two seem to have reconciled.
When we reached out to the producer this afternoon to ask if the deal was on, Gada told us, "Sujoy is free to take the franchise ahead. He has been trying to put that project together since quite sometime. Let him put his cast together, I will be glad to produce the film."
