During an event, when asked about the release or shooting schedule for Kalki 2, he responded, “I don’t know about that. Last time, when 3 or 4 planets aligned, we planned to release Kalki 1. Now, when 7 or 8 planets align, we plan to release Kalki 2.”
It seems like he is still unsure about the sequel’s schedule.
