Sequel
At a special screening held for the film's cast and crew in Kolkata on 10 March 2012, Sujoy Ghosh admitted to his intentions of continuing the film as a part of an ongoing series. Ghosh was inspired by Satyajit Ray's Feluda detective stories and desired to carry forward the stories of Vidya Bagchi on similar lines. He said, "... I knew I had stumbled on to a unique idea that I didn't want to let go of when I finished writing Kahaani. What Vidya Bagchi does with her life after my Kahaani, haunts me. I want to take the idea forward." The positive critical reception and box office collection of the film strengthened the likelihood of a sequel. Ghosh further said, "Kahaani was written for Balan. I can't imagine taking the character forward without her. She will have to green-light the franchise before it goes further." Ghosh revealed that the shooting of Kahaani 2 will start in 2013. He said "The film will definitely go on the floors by next year... The film is in its scripting stage. I have just started writing it so we have a long way to go." He further said that "Of course, we will have Vidya Balan in the film and rest of the characters will also be the same."
