Does 'Age Of Vice' Have A Sequel Or Spin-Off?

I binged 'Age of Vice' in one weekend and immediately went hunting for more. From what I've gathered through author interviews and publisher announcements, there's no official sequel or spin-off yet. The ending left enough threads for continuation, especially with Ajay's unresolved arc and Neda's political rise. The author Deepti Kapoor has mentioned in literary podcasts that she's exploring themes that could connect to this world, but nothing concrete. For now, fans are dissecting every interview clue. If you crave similar vibes, try 'The White Tiger'—it has that same gritty Delhi underworld energy with a dash of dark humor.

While waiting, some fan forums are creating unofficial continuations, weaving theories about Sunny Wadia's empire surviving the climax chaos. The book's explosive popularity might push publishers to greenlight more—fingers crossed.

As someone who analyzes publishing trends, 'Age of Vice' is positioned as a standalone, but its commercial success makes spin-offs plausible. The novel's structure mirrors 'The Godfather' in scope, focusing on a crime dynasty ripe for expansion. Kapoor’s world-building introduces compelling side characters like Farid and Pari, who could anchor their own stories. The drug trade in Goa, the political machinations in Uttar Pradesh—each subplot feels like a spin-off waiting to happen.

I tracked the publisher’s catalog and found no announcements, but industry whispers suggest Kapoor is developing new projects. Until then, dive into 'Sacred Games' by Vikram Chandra for another layered Indian crime epic. Netflix’s adaptation proves how rich this genre is. 'Age of Vice' could follow a similar path; its cinematic violence and family drama scream for a screen adaptation that might birth sequels.

The book’s ambiguous ending deliberately avoids closure. Ajay’s fate, the Wadia family’s legacy—these aren’t threads you drop unless you plan to pick them up later. Historical fiction often gets sequels years later (think 'Pillars of the Earth'), so patience might reward us.

Here’s the tea: no sequel, but the fandom’s brewing theories like chai. Kapoor crafted 'Age of Vice' as a self-contained saga, yet left Easter eggs for future stories. Sunny’s exile in London? Perfect setup for a spin-off about European crime syndicates. Neda’s journalism career? Could mirror Shekhar Gupta’s real-life investigative triumphs. Even the minor character Bobby has fans begging for a prequel about his Mumbai gangster days.

While we wait, immerse yourself in 'Ib’s Endless Search for Satisfaction'—another Delhi-set novel with razor-sharp social commentary. The lack of a sequel isn’t surprising; great standalones often outshine forced continuations. Kapoor’s prose shines when depicting raw power struggles, not necessarily extended universes. Though if Ajay returns in a future book, I’ll be first in line to buy it. The door’s left slightly ajar—just enough to hope.
