On 18 December 2015 Kendasampige completed 100 Days run in 5 theaters. Director Soori had initially announced that the film will have a prequel titled Kaage Bangara and a sequel titled Black Magic. But Kaage Bangara was stalled owing to demonetization since the director felt that the storyline he prepared was no more relevant after issue of new currency notes.[3][4][5][6] However, he revived Kaage Bangara after the 2020 movie Popcorn Monkey Tiger which served as a link between Kendasampige and Kaage Bangara.[7]
