In the vlog, Nakuul Mehta expressed his longing for the kind of films Farah used to make, prompting the director to announce her comeback plans. "Abhi banaungi main! Abhi bachche chaley jayenge na college fir banaungi! There is a whole petition on the internet called wapas aao Farah Khan! So I think it is time, I think end of this year I will start," Farah said, indicating that she intends to begin work on the project towards the end of the year, once her children have gone to college.
Adding to the excitement, Farah quipped that she would only direct her next film with Shah Rukh Khan. "If I do (direct her film), I will do it with Shah Rukh! Otherwise, I will wait and do YouTube," she stated, emphasizing her strong professional bond with the superstar.

Their on-screen chemistry and Farah's directorial style have resulted in memorable cinematic experiences. Their collaborations include "Main Hoon Na," "Om Shanti Om," and "Happy New Year".
While details about the plot and genre of the upcoming film remain under wraps, reports suggest that the two might be working on the sequel of Main Hoon Na.
