What is commonly scaring for Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kajol?

It’s the fear of flying (aviophobia). Kajol has suffered earlier and now it’s the turn of Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Well not literally but on screen.

NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUI AND KAJOL

It is learnt that director Pawan Kirpalani is all set to kick off a sequel to his critically acclaimed 2016 psychological thriller, PHOBIA that starred Radhika Apte who suffers from agoraphobia (fear of open spaces). Now, in the sequel Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be seen suffering from aviophobia (fear of flying).

It must be recalled that Kajol in PYAAR TOH HONA HI THA (1998) suffered from the same disease. While PYAAR TOH HONA HI THA was an escapist cinema that used the fear only to create fun, the Nawazuddin starrer is said to be a serious psychological thriller based on aviophobia. According to a report in Pune Mirror, the movie begins with Nawaz boarding a flight and the entire movie is set in a plane.

The movie will go on floors as soon as Nawaz is done with his prior commitments
