Has producer Dinesh Vijan opted out of Go Goa Gone sequel?

In the list of forthcoming Bollywood sequels, Go Goa Gone 2 is a sequel that everyone is waiting for with bated breath. The second instalment of the 2013 hit zombie comic-caper Go Goa Gone has been in talks for a long time now. After a long wait, it was finally set to begin production in early 2019. However, if the latest reports are to be believed, the project has hit yet another roadblock.

According to reports, Dinesh Vijan, the co-producer of the film, has backed out of Go Goa Gone 2 due to the ongoing dispute with producers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K for non-payment of dues for their recent hit Stree (2018).


Spilling some more beans on the issue, a source says, "Dinesh Vijan has decided to pull out of Go Goa Gone 2 due to the ongoing dispute with Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. Their relationship has gone sour. Now, Dinesh does not want to go ahead with Raj & DK on the project which they were supposed to do earlier.”

Looks like the future of the film is once again in limbo!

Meanwhile, Dinesh Vijan is presently focusing on his upcoming production ventures, including Arjun Patiala, Luka Chuppi and Made In China. All films are set to release in 2019.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
