Filmmaker and music composer Vishal Bhardwaj lately addressed the rumours of a sequel to Haider starring Shahid Kapoor. According to a file in Hindustan Times, he answered to the anticipation of the movie after Shahid Kapoor's recent haircut. He stated, "Shahid ne baal kata liye, iska yeh matlab thodi Haider 2 ho jayegi. There is no purpose to make a second component as Kashmir is in a exceptional stage". He similarly said that I am satisfied to look that human beings have not forgotten the first a part of Haider.

But, Haider became linked to Kashmir and right now I don't have whatever to mention on Kashmir, so there may be no point in Haider 2 proper now". When it involves deciding on his tasks, Bharadwaj reveals that genre range is paramount to him, pointing out his current directorial Khufiya. “I have many things in thoughts whilst coming near a assignment. It also topics to me if I even have performed with any genre or now not. Repetition could be very boring for me. Espionage is a style that I usually desired to explore, and when I explored this e-book, Escape To Nowhere, it had many information about the R&AW operations, and that's what excited me.”Vishal Bhardwaj's modern film Khufiya launched on October 5 on the OTT platform Netflix. The spy mystery film is based totally on Amar Bhushan's espionage novel Escape to Nowhere. It stars Tabu, Ali, Fazal and Wamiqa Gabi. Khufiya tells the story of an operative of the Indian undercover agent corporation called R&AW who's assigned to track down a mole who's promoting defence secrets and techniques while grappling along with her twin identity as a undercover agent and a lover.
