Efforts are being made in Hindi and Tamil to produce part 2 of this film. Sridevi who parts away with Kamal in the 1st part come to know about the truth comes back to Kamal.

This is the screenplay of the 2nd part. Talks were held with Kamal and Sridevi to act in 2nd part since they will be suitable.
