Ekta recently confirmed that she is reuniting with director Dibakar Banerjee for Love Sex Aur Dhokha (LSD) 2. In a statement, Ekta said, "LSD is best remembered for its riveting storytelling and with the sequel they aim to recreate the same magic. Dibakar’s craft and storytelling prowess is superlative and I am thrilled to associate with him yet again. We are hopeful to recreate the magic this time around as well and hope that the audience will laud and appreciate 'LSD 2' as much as they did the first part."

"LSD’ was a moment of change in our lives captured through the voice of technology that was changing our souls. A decade later another wave of technology is changing the way we think, dream, live, love and hate. We are changing again into something we don’t quite know. ‘LSD 2’ will be a journey into those unknown depths," Dibakar said.
