Overview
- Priyanka Chopra Jonas announced Ventilator 2 on Saturday, saying Rajesh Mapuskar will return as the film’s writer and director.
- The project will be produced by Priyanka, Dr Madhu Chopra and Mapuskar under Purple Pebble Pictures and Magij Pictures.
- Makers have set a 2027 release target but have not yet revealed the cast, plot details or shooting schedule.
- The original 2016 Ventilator was an award-winning Marathi ensemble that won three National Film Awards and featured a large cast with Priyanka in a cameo role.
- The announcement re-centers Purple Pebble Pictures on regional, mission-driven cinema and could raise fresh attention and opportunities for Marathi filmmakers if the sequel follows the original’s ensemble approach.
