But as of now, there are no definite plans. It’s enjoyable to discuss such possibilities secretly. The characters are captivating.” Later on, he further clarified that, given the right narrative, he would eagerly revisit the project.

I’m keen on creating another one if the right idea arises. From the beginning of our movie project, it seemed like a story unlike any other, capturing a specific moment in time with distinctive characters. If we stumble upon an idea that feels as fresh and engaging as the first one, and has the potential to resonate with the audience just as deeply, then we’ll definitely consider it.
