"After my last film's release, I have been receiving numerous calls asking me to do another '12th Fail,'" Massey disclosed.

"I am consciously shifting towards choosing something different," he explained. It's a brave decision in an industry where success often leads to repeating the same formula over and over again.

Addressing the obvious, Massey didn't sugarcoat his thoughts on a possible ‘12th Fail’ sequel. "If I may say, I really don't foresee a '12th Fail' part two happening," he stated. But he acknowledges the public demand, adding, "Do people want it? Yes. But is it the right thing? I mean, that is a decision all of us need to make collectively."

"From my little experience, yes, successful films usually lead to wanting more of the same," he admitted.
