Directed by Prem Kumar, who made his directorial debut with this Tamil film, 96 is a tender love story based on his own life experiences. Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha played the lead roles in the film. The film was remade in Telugu, titled Jaanu.

Now, there’s exciting news for fans of 96, as Prem Kumar has confirmed that a sequel is in the works. Initially, there were no plans for a continuation, but Prem Kumar has since developed a story and completed the script. He hopes to bring back Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha for this much-anticipated sequel.

However, there's some uncertainty about whether Vijay Sethupathi will be available, given his busy schedule. Additionally, some fans and critics are cautious about the idea of a sequel, fearing that stretching such a classic story might not feel natural or meet the high expectations set by the original.

Whether the sequel can live up to its predecessor’s emotional impact and success remains to be seen.
