When I broke it I did it as three part films. It won't be a sequel. If I take the next part, it will only be a prequel. At first, there will be an animation in the film (Yaathisai), right. I wanted to make that into a film next and then a sequel. I think it will be great, if it's done that way, That's my thought. Again there is a the budget. If I can handle the budget well, if this film has gone big and become a commercial hit, then the next film can be done. As in the next part."
