The second part of this film, part of Yash Raj Films' spy universe, is currently in the works. Along with Shah Rukh Khan, a sequel to a Salman Khan film is also in the pipeline. Kick, the 2014 Hindi remake of the Telugu film Kick, featuring Salman Khan, was a major hit. News about the second part of the film has already surfaced.
