'Bhediya' writer Niren Bhatt said that the makers of the Varun Dhawan film would 100% "like to make a sequel". "We've deliberately kept several threads open," Niren said. Talking about the crossover of 'Bhediya' and 'Stree', Niren added, "[The story of Bhediya] has a connection with 'Stree'...We're trying to merge...the films, and make this into a universe [of horror comedies]."
