`Kyaa Kool Hai Hum` (2005), a comedy, starred Ritesh Deshmukh, Tusshar Kapoor, Eesha Koppikar and Neha. The sequel `Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum` for which the shooting has begun, stars Tusshar and Ritesh. The new additions include Bipasha Basu, Chunky Pandey and Sarah Jane Dias. It is scheduled to release on April 6 next year. For `Ek Chalis Ki Last Local` (2007), which starred Abhay Deol and Neha, the sequel might be titled - `Gyarah Chalis Ki Last Metro` and will star Vivek Oberoi.
Then, a sequel to Apoorva Lakhia`s 2007 film `Shootout at Lokhandwala` is being made. `Shootout at Wadala` revolves around the encounter of gangster Manya Surve and actors Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, Vivek Oberoi have been finalised for the project with rumors of Vidya Balan being roped in.
All the three films featured Neha in pivotal roles and did good business. But the actress can`t quite understand why stories are left untold in the first part if there more happening to it. "I feel if there was a story or something more to tell than why it wasn`t told in the first part. If the reason to write another story is something similar did well three years so that is not good reason enough to make a sequel. But I am proud to be associated with films that are now being made into sequels," Neha said.
"I am always going to be remembered for those films and that is fantastic. I don`t want to say this but sometimes I just feel it. Good luck to everyone as they are entirely entitled to do whatever they want to," Neha said.
Neha made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with Harry Baweja`s `Qayamat: City Under Threat`, which performed averagely at the box office. She rose to fame with her bold role in `Julie`.
After being a part of the industry for almost eight years now, the former beauty queen feels the industry is male dominated but a league of some actresses are giving competition to the male counterparts.
"I see the potential of extremely powerful actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Priyanka Chopra, Konkana Sen. I feel they are the women who are going to carry themselves forward with strong performances. I have a space of my own where I fit in," Neha said. "I don`t know if this norm of being a male dominated industry will change or not. At times it is better as there is less burden on actresses?it works for us," she said.
Neha would be seen next in Saurabh Shukla`s, `Pappu Can`t Dance Saala`, a romantic-comedy opposite Vinay Pathak. The film releases on December 16. The other films that she has in her kitty include `Maximum` with Sonu Sood and `Raftaar` opposite Emraan Hashmi. Both the films will release next year.
