Filmmaker and producer Siddharth P Malhotra has confirmed that two of his recent projects are getting second parts. In an exclusive chat, he revealed that both Ikka 2 and Shaque Season 2 are in the works. This comes after a strong run for his Netflix film Ikka and his web show Shaque: Trust No One on the same platform.
Ikka 2 and Shaque Season 2 Confirmed by Siddharth P Malhotra
Malhotra said both projects have performed well and that work on the next installments has already begun. According to Bollywood Hungama, he stated that Ikka has broken records and that Ikka 2 is being worked on.
He shared the same update for his web show. "Shaque has now broken records and Shaque Season 2 is being done. It has been a great year," he said.
Shaque Season 2 Will Be a Brand New Story
Fans of the first season should note that the second season will not pick up the same thread. Malhotra made it clear that the story will be fresh.
"Shaque Season 2 won't continue the same story. It will be a new story. But a season 2 is in the works. We are writing it." — Bollywood Hungama
He also shared that director Rensil D'Silva had originally imagined Shaque as a movie when he first came up with the idea years ago. That idea has now grown into a series with a confirmed second season.
Malhotra on the Response to the Parineeti Chopra Starrer
The producer did not hide his happiness about how viewers have received the show. He said the reaction has been bigger than anything he has seen for a series before.
- Ikka, starring Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna, grabbed a lot of attention earlier this year.
- Shaque: Trust No One, led by Parineeti Chopra, has also been doing well on the platform.
- Malhotra said he hasn't received so many calls for a series before.
To put it plainly, the numbers and the phone calls tell the same story — audiences are connecting with his work, and the platform clearly wants more.
Our Take: Why This News Matters for Fans
In our view, this is a simple but strong signal for viewers. When a filmmaker confirms sequels before the buzz even settles, it usually means the first projects delivered what the platform hoped for. Malhotra is not just celebrating — he is already writing the next chapter.
The decision to make Shaque Season 2 a new story is a smart one. It keeps the show fresh and gives new viewers a clean entry point. For fans of Parineeti Chopra and of the first season, that is good news. For fans of Ikka, the wait for Ikka 2 has officially begun. What readers should take away is this: both projects are moving forward, and the creator behind them is clearly enjoying the moment.
