Gurinder Chadha on Bend It Like Bechkam sequel

Bend It Like Bechkam captured the imagination of all in 2002. Now, filmmaker Gurinder Chadha speaking to scribes, spoke about the film's sequel much to the excitement of all.

She said "I’m excited to revisit the original characters and revive the enduring story and build on the legacy we helped to create for the women’s game,"

She plans to rope in the original cast members in the sequel. Bend It Like Bechkam starred Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley and it revolved around a British Indian teen, Jess (Nagra), who wants to play soccer but is stopped by her immigrant parents.

She revealed "They obviously want to see a script before they commit.. I’m pretty certain that everyone’s going to want to come back. Everything hinges on the script and if the original cast likes it."

She added "I am working really hard to make sure every character I bring back has a decent arc and scenes,"
