As per the latest reports, the rights for Bhagam Bhag 2 were recently acquired from Shemaroo Entertainment by Sarita Ashwin Varde of Roaring River Productions. She will be producing the film along with Shemaroo and has been simultaneously working on the film’s script.

Bollywood Hungama's report quoted Sarita as saying, "Because a special film like Bhagam Bhag deserves a sequel that’s just as much special; when the time was right, we decided to take the plunge.”

Hiren Gada, CEO of Shemaroo Entertainment expressed his excitement for partnering with Sarita, who has remained the creative force behind her husband Ashwin Varde. 

"Because a special film like Bhagam Bhag deserves a sequel that’s just as much special; when the time was right, we decided to take the plunge," said Gadda.
