In a recent conversation with Mumbai Mirror, Shankar, on being asked if there could be 3.0 in the future, revealed that it is only possible if Thalaivar Rajinikanth is a part of it as he does not wish to carry the franchise forward just for the sake of it. The filmmaker  further added, "We definitely plan to make 3.0 but I can’t think of this franchise without Rajini sir. He’s the only name that comes to my mind when I think of Chitti."

He also went on to add, "As an audience, I want our industry to have a superhero franchise like Superman, Spider-Man and Batman. Chitti is loved by all and I would love to see the character again on screen. But for that to happen, the creative in me should get the right script. I would not want to make 3.0 just for the sake of carrying the franchise forward."

Talking about the film, Rajinikanth had earlier said in a statement, "You won’t find another movie like 2.0. There will be even more expensive films but content-wise 2.0 is very fresh and unique. It’ll be remembered like how Chandralekha is talked about even today."
