However she denied being a part of this film. Later, the sequel plan was shelved for many years. In 2023, Nagashekar took up the title yet again and signed in Srinagara Kitty to reprise his role of Sanju. However, talks were on with Ramya to reprise her character of Geetha. In July 2023, Rachita Ram was confirmed to play the role of Geetha. The film went on floors from 15 August 2023 with Nagashekar planning to rope in actress Tamannaah for a special song and also to cast Prakash Raj and Ramya Krishnan to play pivotal roles. However, later Ragini Dwivedi was confirmed to appear in the special song and also Chetan Chandra would play a role.

The soundtrack consists of songs composed by Sridhar V. Sambhram to the lyrics by Kaviraj. The audio rights were acquired by Anand Audio.

## Release

The initial plan to release the film was on 1 April 2024. Several schedule delays pushed the release dates many times in 2024 and finally the date was coined as 10 January 2025. The film's release was halted by Telugu film producer Chintapalli Ramarao who brought a stay after accusing Nagashekar for not repaying the loan as per agreement they both made during the director's previous release Gurthunda Seethakalam. The stay was vacated at the legal court and finally the film release was announced to be on 17 January 2025.

## Reception
### Critical response

A Sharadhaa of The Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Sanju Weds Geetha 2 is an ambitious attempt to revisit a beloved emotional landscape but ultimately stumbles under the weight of its own aspirations. While the first film was a masterclass in emotional storytelling, this instalment feels like a disjointed mosaic—forced symbolism, lacklustre performances, and missed opportunities".. Maheshwara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror also gave 2.5/5 stars and called out the film as "A visual treat without much depth".
Sridevi. S of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and was critical about the lead pair chemistry. She wrote "Besides the nostalgia around the title, the movie fails to connect emotionally with the audience. While the love story was the heart and soul of Sanju Weds Geetha, the 2025 film fails to establish the bond between the couple".
