The Bend It Like Beckham sequel needs to be gay as hell
An old Indian lady stood at a bride's procession and innocently said: 'Lesbian? Her birthday's in March. I thought she was Pisces?' Another piped up: 'She's not Lebanese, she's Punjabi!' When I first saw this scene from the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham, I was in shock. I couldn't imagine seeing an old Indian woman say the word 'lesbian'. And since then, my queer friends and I quote these lines at least once a month, while rolling around laughing. But it's not just a silly joke – it's a pinnacle moment in a film that changed so many lives. For South Asian people, Bend It Like Beckham offered insight into our culture, the racism we face and the expectations we have of each other. It put my South Asian hometown, Hounslow, on the map and it is still the film we go back to when we want to talk about representation. But it also became a queer cult film for its suggestive subtext, quotable queer lines and coming-out storyline. So when I heard that the director, Gurinder Chada, has confirmed a sequel – hopefully with members of the original cast – I was ecstatic. But I had one thought: it better be more queer. No subtext. No nods and winks. Gay. As. Hell. With thousands of members from all over the world, our vibrant LGBTQ+ WhatsApp channel is a hub for all the latest news and important issues that face the LGBTQ+ community. Simply click on this link, select 'Join Chat' and you're in! Don't forget to turn on notifications! The 2002 Bend it Like Beckham revolved around Jess (Parminder Nagra) a young girl who wants to play football professionally. She meets Jules (Keira Knightley) and joins the girl's local football team, Hounslow Harriers, against her parent's wishes. It was a hit – made on only a $5.6 million budget, Bend it Like Beckham grossed over $76.8 million at the global box office. While the film didn't explicitly stipulate Jess' sexuality, her rejection of over-sexualisation of teenage girls and disinterest in boys made her the blueprint for a baby queer like me, and many others, to help understand ourselves. In one scene, when Jess and Jules get accepted for football scholarships in the United States, they celebrate with a hug and almost kiss while embracing – to my queer teenage eyes, they were basically fully making out. In another, Jess' best friend Tony comes out by telling her: 'I really like Beckham', giving her a pointed look. 'But you're Indian!', Jess exclaims – just as many have exclaimed to me when I came out. And, like the accepting friend she is, she instantly accepts him. Jess' cut off vest/hoodie was, and still probably is, the most lesbian outfit I've seen on an Indian woman on TV, and it helped me accept my own style. As a young teenager, I forced myself to dress and act for the male gaze. But by 17, I became an emo, wearing multiple studded belts, thick eyeliner around my eyes and baggy clothes. I was often called a 'tomboy' or 'weird' because I had rejected the expectation to marry a 'good Indian boy', and given space to my own expression. Some of my family had a similar reaction towards me that Jess' family had to her in the film, exclaiming that I had to embrace Indian traditions and be more like the Indian girls they knew. They wanted me to be less strange…less queer. But when Hounslow Harriers' coach Joe (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), says, 'Your parents don't always know what's best for you' I realised that the concept of 'respecting your elders' was a technique of control. The film could have been made for me. It's not just the narrative of the film, either, but the subject matter: women's football is indeed currently very gay. Today, there is a significant presence of openly LGBTQ+ players in women's teams. While the characters in Bend it Like Beckham would joke about sleeping with men and have crushes on their coach, the current Euro-winning women's England team today is made up of players like Leah Williamson, Beth Mead, Jess Carter and Lauren Hemp who are openly LGBTQ+. Gurinder Chadha revealed her sequel aims to release in 2027, to align with the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil. Chadha has been quoted as saying that she is 'excited to revisit the original characters and revive the enduring story and build on the legacy we helped to create for the women's game' and that, 'women's football is more competitive, more exciting, and more global than ever. It is an honor for me to be a small part of it'. More Trending Now we don't just want it back again, we want it gay. Just like the football we watch now, the lives we live now and the Indian people we openly exist as now. In 2002, we heard Jess say: 'I'm not playing with boys anymore – I'm joining a girl's team'. And in 2027, I want this to come true in every sense of the word. Let's make Bend it Like Beckham as queer as it was always meant to be. Do you have a story you'd like to share?

Bend It Like Beckham director confirms sequel and teases original cast's return
An exciting movie sequel is afoot, it has been confirmed. Released in 2002, Bend It Like Beckham starred Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra and is credited with inspiring a generation of girls to take up football. Its plot follows Jesminder Bhamra (Nagra), who dreams of a career in professional footie. However, her Sikh parents want her to study for a law degree and get married. She meets Jules Paxton (Knightley), a white female striker who invites Jess to join the local women's team. The sports comedy-drama—named after Sir David's iconic curling free kick technique—has certainly stood the test of time and retained its fanbase in the years since, having even been adapted into a stage musical in 2015. And now, its director, Gurinder Chadha, has announced that a second instalment is in the works. The timing of the announcement couldn't be more fitting, since the Lionesses are due to take on Spain in the Euro 2025 final on Sunday. Chadha also hopes to schedule the sequel's release for 2027, not only to coincide with the original movie's 20th anniversary but with the Fifa Women's World Cup in Brazil too. And while nothing is set in stone and meetings are yet to be had, the filmmaker is hopeful that the original cast will reprise their roles. 'We've been part of changing the game for women, so it felt like this was a good time for me to go back and investigate the characters,' she told BBC. The London-based director added to Deadline: 'I'm excited to revisit the original characters and revive the enduring story and build on the legacy we helped to create for the women's game.' She confirmed that Nagra, Knightley, Archie Punjabi, Juliet Stevenson, and other cast members 'are aware that a sequel is being developed, but they obviously want to see a script before they commit'. 'I'm pretty certain that everyone's going to want to come back,' she said with optimism. 'Everything hinges on the script, and if the original cast likes it. 'I am working really hard to make sure every character I bring back has a decent arc and scenes.' As for why it's taken over two decades for the ball to start rolling for a sequel (pun fully intended), Chadha 'didn't want' to touch the idea because she 'didn't have a story'. Teasing what fans can expect from the currently nameless sequel, she continued: 'And then I came up with a great story, really super-cool story. So now I'm inspired. Literally came up with it just about a month ago.' She's keen to get the cast back 'very, very soon', declaring proudly: 'Women's football is more competitive, more exciting, and more global than ever. It is an honour for me to be a small part of it.' A Bend It Like Beckham sequel would undoubtedly be huge for cinema, what with the original grossing $76.7million (£57m) against its $5.6m (£4.2m) budget. The film has also become adored by many communities of cinema fans over time, thanks to its exploration of women in sport and the expectations of South Asian women in society. What's more, while not explicitly queer, its storylines deeply resonated with LGBTQ+ viewers, leading to the film being adopted as a lesbian cult classic. Its upcoming sequel even has the backing of Lisa Nandy MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, who will attend the Euros final with Chadha this weekend. 'Bend It Like Beckham captured something so special about Britain, our spirit, our diversity, and our ability to dream big in the face of challenge,' she said. 'Gurinder Chadha gave us a story that resonated far beyond the screen and became part of our cultural DNA.' Nandy added: 'The announcement of a follow-up is a brilliant moment for British film. It builds on a legacy that continues to inspire and shows the world what British storytelling can do. Productions like this help tell our national story, remind us who we are, and who we can be.' Chadha is hoping her husband, Paul Mayeda Berges, will also be back on board to help pen the screenplay, as he did the first, to reignite the magic. More Trending 'I'm hoping to write it with Paul, who has come up with some very funny lines like he did last time.' One thing's for sure, and it's that, in the era of Freakier Friday and Happy Gilmore 2, the news is being eaten up by nostalgia hungry social media users, with plenty branding the announcement exactly 'what we need'. 'one of the greatest movies ever. bring back the original cast', wrote @rasalistair on X. 'MY CHILDHOOD! LETS GO!', added @AnthonyDaytv. Got a story?
