Priyanka Chopra is taking a trip down memory lane as she officially announces the sequel to her acclaimed Marathi film, Ventilator. Under her production banner, Purple Pebble Pictures, the actor-producer revealed that she is teaming up once again with filmmaker Rajesh Mapuskar, who returns to the helm as both writer and director for the second installment. The project, which is set to hit theaters in 2027, marks a significant milestone for the production house as it revisits one of the most successful stories from its decade-long journey.
Taking to Instagram to share the big news, Priyanka reflected on the vision that started it all ten years ago. She noted that Ventilator was a pivotal project for her company, designed to highlight meaningful stories that resonate with audiences. The upcoming sequel will be produced by Priyanka Chopra, Dr. Madhu Chopra, and Rajesh Mapuskar under the banners of Purple Pebble Pictures and Magij Pictures. While fans are buzzing with excitement, details regarding the cast and the specific plotline remain under wraps for now.
The original 2016 film, which famously took home three National Film Awards, struck a chord with viewers by blending humor and heart while centering on the Kamerkar family during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. Since then, Purple Pebble Pictures has built a reputation for backing unconventional narratives, including projects like The White Tiger, The Sky Is Pink, and the award-winning Paani. With a track record that includes multiple National Film Awards and Academy Award nominations, the expectations for this return to the Ventilator universe are already running high as fans look forward to the 2027 release.
