With Rani Mukerji’s Hichki receiving a warm response from the audience, buzz is that the makers are contemplating developing it into a franchise. Director Siddharth P Malhotra says, “I never thought of it as a franchise when I was writing it. But people who have watched it now are asking Rani and me if there will be a Hichki 2. The possibilities are many, but I’m not thinking about it now.”

Unsure of how to go about Hichki 2, but never denying its scope, he adds, “The film delivered on box office numbers. I am sitting on a lot of stories now. Hopefully, I will get the opportunity [to direct them].”
