The sequel claims to match the original innovation and its impact on the 16 December that was released 24 years ago. It was a film far ahead of its time. Predicting to cutting edges, the concept was with 3D holographic surveillance, with AI driven image, with voice activated systems and image enhancement. It was an advanced wireless spy tech with integration of futuristic technology in a real world of Indian settings. No wonder it was one of the year’s top grossers and had set a new benchmark for the thrillers.
The film had also delivered notable moments which included Gulshan Grover’s chilling voice that had triggered a command, ‘Dulhan Ki Bidaai Ka Waqt Badalna hai’ which was the ultimate cracked down by teenage hacker. The concept was considered to be ground breaking in that period.
Mani Shankar reveals the 16 December 2 is nearly its completion.
From pioneering the idea to the new genre, to introduce fierce action ready female Spy Sheba the film had left a lasting legacy in the Bollywood’s storytelling.
It is going to be just as original and relevant as the first says Mani Shankar. The film maker has confirmed the sequel is produced by himself and he plans to pitch it to the leading stars shortly. With a mix of geopolitics, technology and the high-stake drama that is anticipated, 16 December 2 is shaping up to become a legacy that is truly ahead of its time and will reignite the earlier version.
