Madhur Bhandarkar is ready to take the plunge again into the world of filthy corporate infighting. He’s ready with a sequel to his successful movie Corporate. We have learnt that Bipasha Basu is the front-runner in landing the lead role in this film too.
However, the other cast members like Kay Kay Menon, Rajat Kapoor and others may be changed as the filmmakers are looking to have bigger stars in this multi-starrer potboiler. They also have a big budget to bear the costs of roping in A-listers.
A source close to the film says: "Bipasha has expressed her keenness to work in the project and she will most probably be in the sequel. Percept Picture Company is looking cast bigger stars in this one as they have a good budget at hand too. It is approximately Rs20 crore. But that would mean that most of the people from the original 2006 film’s cast would be replaced. It anyways had a big cast like Raj Babbar, Rajat Kapoor, Kay kay Menon, Lillete Dubey. So, let’s see who they will be cast in it."
Navin Shah, head honcho of Percept Picture Company, says: "It is true that Bipasha Basu is very much on top of our minds and it is also true that we might be changing people from the original cast but names haven’t been finalised yet. I have to clarify one thing that this film is a sequel but has a completely new plot. Scripting is being done right now so we cannot reveal further details but since it is Corporate 2, it will have politics and infighting among elite companies. The story is not inspired by anyone’s life and the storyline is purely a part of fiction."
