Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the action thriller had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

Following a positive response from the audience, Karan Johar has now announced his plans to develop a sequel to the film.
“When we had a breakthrough film like ‘Kill’ that made waves internationally, it was an electrifying moment for us. With deals struck at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film is now being remade in English and dubbed in multiple languages, he said during an event in Mumbai.
“We’re now planning a second part, hoping for the same international success. Similarly, our collaboration with Meraj Imani, a Cannes award-winning filmmaker, will take our work to festivals worldwide,” the Bollywood filmmaker added.
