Farah Khan proposed creating a sequel to Tees Maar Khan during her hosting duties on Weekend Ka Vaar for Bigg Boss 19. The choreographer and filmmaker shared hosting responsibilities with Akshay Kumar while Salman Khan remained absent from the reality show. Kumar appeared on the program to promote his upcoming release, Jolly LLB 3. Khan posted an Instagram story featuring both stars from the Bigg Boss set and suggested developing the second installment. She expressed enthusiasm about their collaborative hosting experience.
The original Tees Maar Khan premiered in 2010 as an adaptation of the 1966 Italian film After the Fox. Khan directed the heist comedy starring Kumar alongside Akshaye Khanna and Katrina Kaif. Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor contributed special appearances to the production. Critics initially dismissed the film despite its eventual cult following among audiences. The movie gained recognition for the Sheila Ki Jawani dance sequence and Khanna's performance as fictional superstar Aatish Kapoor.
