Talking more about the film, the actor says, “I believe that every human being has a Sanki side to them. I am collaborating with Vipul Shah for the fifth time with great excitement. Sanak captures a common man's emotional journey. I am grateful for my fans who enjoyed Khuda Haafiz. It makes me really hopeful and excited that Sanak too will receive lots of love and affection from the audience.”

Sanak is expected to begin production soon. According to reports, the makers are planning to mount the film on a big scale and shoot it at some exotic locations. Meanwhile, Vidyut Jammwal is gearing up to commence work on Khuda Haafiz 2.

The sequel will take the love story of the lead characters Sameer (Jammwal) and Nargis (Shivaleeka Oberoi) forward. “To adjust and successfully live in the society after the woman has gone through this turmoil is the real beginning of the love story. That is what we are planning to showcase in the second chapter,” the actor had earlier said in a statement.
