Explains Ekta Kapoor, “We are glad with the incredible interest that brands have shown in our sequel. We will stay true to the film and its storyline. Milan (Director) has advised us that he will incorporate 5 or 6 brands at best therefore we will be extremely careful in our selection. As the final draft of the script is currently being worked on, we can incorporate these brands in the narrative seamlessly.”
