Thursday, 19th June 2014, 04:30 PM IST Nittin Kakkar’s directorial debut ‘Filmistaan’ made huge profits since its release and with the Maharashtra government granting the film an entertainment-tax exemption the ticket sales are expected to rise in the next week. With all of this, the pressure to do a sequel to the film has increased. The film's leading man and the dialogue/screenplay writer Sharib Hashmi said, "We're being persuaded to do a sequel. The film had an open ending where we don't know what happened to the Indian and Pakistani protagonist. But both the director Nitin Kakkar and I are very clear that unless we get a storyline that takes forward the two characters played by me and Inaamulhaq, we aren't doing a sequel. There is no point doing a sequel just because the first film has succeeded.” "The Indo-Pak border issue is a serious matter. We can't treat it as a formula and drag it forward just to cash in on the success," Sharib said.
