Nag Ashwin was further inquired about the film’s sequel already being 60% shot. In response, the director said, “It’s not 60%, I would say. We shot about 25-30 days of the second part but there’s a lot left to do.”

When asked about a plan for the second part, the director further explained, “There’s still so much prep left to do in terms of just again designing and action. The whole thing starts again. It’s a long journey to just prep before we even start getting actors back on set.”
