Following the success of Krrish, director Rakesh Roshan planned to develop a sequel for the film with Hrithik Roshan playing the protagonist again. He had penned the script in early 2007, but had to re-work on it as the storyline was drastically similar to the Hollywood blockbuster Spider-Man 3.[6] Priyanka Chopra was later confirmed to reprise the role of Priya.

In January 2011, Lakshmi Manchu claimed to have been offered a role in the film as the antagonist's girlfriend.[16] Riya Sen is rumored to play the role. The film has already started making profits. Its overseas distribution rights were sold to Eros International while Rakesh Roshan retained rights in Mumbai.[17] There was also initial speculation that Rekha would play a major role in the film, which was later denied as a rumour.[15]
