Earlier, the trio's restaurant video sparked sequel speculation
Earlier this year, Akhtar had shared a video of Roshan and Deol at a restaurant. In the clip, Deol is engrossed in a book—The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. Roshan exclaims "Unbelievable!" while looking at the same book and Akhtar comments "Outstanding." This video, with Akhtar's caption tagging his sister and ZNMD director Zoya Akhtar with the message "@zoieakhtar do you see the signs??" also had fans speculating a sequel.
