Abhishek Bachchan in a still from Happy New Year
Filmmaker Farah Khan says actor Abhishek Bachchan has taken on the "responsibility" of writing a possible sequel to her hit heist comedy Happy New Year.
She says that after the success of Happy New Year, Abhishek, who played a key role in the film, was pressuring the filmmaker to make a sequel. So, she entrusted him with the job of the sequel's story.
"Abhishek Bachchan is writing Happy New Year sequel. He has taken the responsibility now," Farah quipped here on Monday during the screening of the film Margarita With A Straw.
"If I will like the script, then we would make the sequel," she added.
When asked about her role in the sequel, she said, "I would be directing it."
Happy New Year, which released around Diwali last year, also starred Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah in key roles.
