16 Years of Quick Gun Murugan: Shashanka Ghosh reveals, “It was meant to have a sequel titled The Good, The Bad, The Idli”

How did something so crazy ever get made? I am really grateful that the film got made. It required a large dose of guts, and producer Anand Surapur sure did have that. I feel it has the kind of unconventionality that makes it relevant even today—from its themes to its characters and storyline.

How was the idea of Quick Gun Murugan born? The writer Rajesh Devraj was struck by the 1960s Tamil western genre. So, he added the ‘veg vs non-veg’ theme, the concept of life after death, and a hero who aspires to be a normal bank employee.

How did you ever think you could get away with it? We lived in more optimistic times, so the ‘get-away-with-it’ belief was stronger.

Tell me about the zany casting. The producer Anand came up with Rajendra Prasad. I fell in love with him the moment I met him. Rambha was a natural tribute to the genre. Nasser was a bonus.

Why didn’t you carry forward the idea into a franchise? We had planned a sequel. It was to be called The Good, The Bad, The Idli.
