Agent Vinod's sequel in 3D?

Only days after the release of home production Agent Vinod, producer cum lead actor Saif Ali Khan seems to be mulling over the idea of following up the ambitious project with a sequel in 3D. Irrespective, it seems, of the lukewarm response at BO, the preceding high end controversy over his blunt anti-Pak ban remarks, and the overall critical down-fare the movie itself has received.

Initially, we hear now, the original recent release was meant to be a 3D; but given Saif's debatable interest in 3D cinema, and the fact that he was apprehensive of audience response in general, the idea was dropped. Now however, buzz has it that for his son's penchant of 3D movies, Chotte Nawab is willing to take a second shot with a sequel.

 

He has gone on the record to say only, that if the plan is carried through, and official statement will be issued for the same, to effect, alongwith a complete shelving of the cast, with the exception of Vinod. What about Kareena Kapoor, he's asked, but Saif chooses to remain deliberately tight lipped about that, dismissing it as too early to be discussed.

 

One has to wonder if the sequel is as innocent a thought as fulfilling the wish of his son – or merely to be an attempt of saving grace for a project much hyped, but fallen flat? Also, the retention of Bebo being debatable raises eyes, especially given their all set to be married plans being indefinitely postponed. Could it be a consequence of unknown differences on the personal front, or more the lack of definite approval that Saifeena have failed to gain with repeated ventures of sharing screen space?

 

Amidst an easily skipped recent release, much individual controversy, and alleged trouble in the paradise, we wonder what really could motivate Saif to even give a second shot to an AV-sequel.
