Reacting to the rumours, Johar dismissed rumours about Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 2, saying he would never make a sequel. Speaking on On Call with Sonal Kalra for The Right Angle, he said, "I would never make K3G 2—not because K3G was the best film ever made, not at all. Every film has its flaws, but what K3G has in abundance is nostalgia. Generations have grown up watching that film—what they’ve loved, what they haven’t, what they’ve cried about—they still love the movie."

Furthermore, KJo stated that he is very, very grateful to the universe for giving him the opportunity to create a film that continues to live on, and that he is very proud and happy with it. However, he added that he would never tamper with the nostalgia or the love the film continues to receive.
"Because you’re setting yourself up for disaster when you make something like K3G 2," he said.

Karan Johar also opened up about his shelved film Takht, which was announced in 2021 and featured Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor, and Bhumi Pednekar, but faced delays due to COVID-19 and remains unreleased to date.
He added that there is currently no revival of Takht on the cards, stating that it is a film he would definitely make while he can still breathe and stand on his feet, as he considers it one of the strongest screenplays developed, written by Sumit Roy.
