At the launch of the film trailer Aziz explained how he struggled while making the second part of the hit film.

“I had to make sure we retain the innocence. Both these stories are my babies, both are different but they represent the same emotion. Happiness is one emotion which if we don’t cherish or don’t look after it or protect, it will run away; the title stands for that. Both these girls (Diana Penty and Sonakshi Sinha) are remarkable representation of happiness,” he said as quoted in PTI.

“I had not thought of making the sequel. It is difficult to say what we have in mind right now (about the third part),” Aziz added.

The director also said that the making of the film comes “from the personal space of a filmmaker... I would be the last person to say why others are making sequels. If there is a story that you think should be told, then only a sequel should be made.”
