The sequel was officially announced through a post-credits scene during the re-release. Reports suggest that the second installment has been allocated a substantial budget of Rs 100 crore.
Recently, in an interview with Fever FM, actor Sohum Shah cleared the rumour about Rs 100 crore and said, “I don’t know how much ‘

‘ is being made for, but it’s true that part 2 is an expensive film because our effort is to make it better than the first part. Even before the re-release of part 1, we were ready with a good budget. The producer called me and asked how much budget I wanted, but I told them there was no script. We struggled for six years and part 1 was released and became a hit; for people, box-office numbers don’t matter. When we started, there was nothing like that. Making that film was a unique task in itself. But now, finally, we have a script and will start the shooting by the end of 2025.”
