Raj had earlier told Asian Age in an interview, “Ideally, I would love to have everybody in the sequel as well. I have met all the actors and they all loved the story and they all want to do it. It is just a matter of logistics.” Asked about shooting the film in Goa again, he had said, “I would like to shoot in Goa but there is an element in the story for which we might look elsewhere also. So, I can’t give out much right now.”.

Go Goa Gone 2 will release in March 2021.
