IANS ‘Talvar 2’ to explore the Gurgaon school murder case

MUMBAI: Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj is taking forward the “Talvar” franchise with a sequel that will revolve around the recent murder of a seven-year-old Gur- gaon school student. The director, who is also writing and producing the film, has joined hands with Junglee Pictures for the second time after “Talvar”. “‘Talvar’ was about much more than the heinous crime itself, the film held up a mirror to society and exposed several loopholes in the system. “Such crimes shake the very moral fabric of society and need to be analysed in a much deeper sense. The world is not just black and white, there’s more to a crime than just victim and perpetrator. That’s why we have decided to continue making true crime procedurals like Talvar,” Bhardwaj said in a statement.
