Priyanka Chopra Jonas has officially announced Ventilator 2, a Marathi sequel set for release in 2027, marking a return to one of the most significant projects in her production journey. The film will reunite her with director and writer Rajesh Mapuskar, who helmed the original 2016 film. The announcement comes as Purple Pebble Pictures, the production banner she founded, celebrates its tenth anniversary in the entertainment industry.

The sequel will be produced under Purple Pebble Pictures and Magij Pictures, with Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Dr Madhu Chopra, and Rajesh Mapuskar listed as producers. While the release year is confirmed, details on the cast, storyline, and filming schedule remain undisclosed. The original Ventilator was a Marathi family drama centered around the Kamerkar family, whose members gather at a hospital during Ganesh Chaturthi after an elderly relative, Gajanan, is placed on a ventilator.

What began as a medical emergency unfolds into a layered exploration of generational divides, unresolved conflicts, and emotional reconciliation. The film blended humour with poignant moments, anchored by ensemble performances from Ashutosh Gowariker, Jitendra Joshi, Sulabha Arya, Viju Khote, Satish Alekar, Achyut Potdar, and a special appearance by Priyanka Chopra herself.

It earned three National Film Awards — Best Director for Rajesh Mapuskar, Best Editing, and Best Sound Mixing, cementing its place as a landmark in Marathi cinema. For Priyanka, the film represented the kind of storytelling she wanted to champion through Purple Pebble Pictures, a banner that has since supported diverse voices across languages and genres, including Pahuna: The Little Visitors, Paani, Firebrand, The Sky Is Pink, The White Tiger, and To Kill a Tiger.

The return to Ventilator signals not just a continuation of a story, but a reaffirmation of the company’s core ethos. As the project moves toward its 2027 release, audiences are left waiting for further updates, particularly whether any members of the original cast will reprise their roles. Until then, the silence speaks volumes.

The film’s legacy endures, and so does the anticipation.
