After the success of Chhorii, the actor is honoured to now star in a franchise with a female lead. She stated, "This doesn't occur frequently. We were kind of given room to make Chhorii into a franchise since people liked and spoke about it. Of course the director, producer, and actors want to make money from the movie they produce. Nobody wants to create a movie to be in loss, right? Part 2 was made possible by the fact that everyone enjoyed the first movie. The team is feeling great right now." The actor added, "there’s a whole new excitement to do it again. I am very grateful for it."

The actor has upcoming female-driven movies, including Chhorri and Akelli. She also has Selfie, which stars Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi, and Diana Penty in lead roles.
