The director admits that he was initially apprehensive about making a sequel but the lead pair of the film, actors’ Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif convinced him to write the script.

The filmmaker is ready with the script, co-written with Suresh Nair and filming will only begin shooting four months later.

Vipul admits, "Doing sequels are not my cup of tea but they seem to be a trend now. More than me Akshay was keen to do a sequel to Namastey London. He felt the story had the potential to be carried forward. I couldn`t disagree with him beyond a point."
