- Hirani explained he can easily imagine opening acts for multiple films but cannot proceed without a satisfying second half and final act that connect the plots.
- Discussions are ongoing with core collaborators including Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi and writer Abhijat Joshi while no title, casting confirmations or release date have been set.
- The director stresses he will not rush a sequel for commercial gain and the team’s next steps to watch for are which draft yields the required ending and when a complete script is announced.
