Why is there a sequel for Chunkzz?
Chunkzz opened to negative response from the audience, who were of the opinion that the film was filled with adult jokes with no logic in the storyline.
Despite being a movie that garnered bad reviews, especially for its innuendo-sprinkled dialogues and overdose of sexist jokes, why are the makers of Chunkzz coming up with a sequel?
The low-budget Chunkzz had a total gross collection of Rs 15.8 crore from Kerala, clearly indicating that the youngsters in the state are supporting such movies.
The makers are looking to repeat that success with the sequel.
