After [[Abir Chatterjee]] decided to opt for the role of ''[[Byomkesh Bakshi]]'', [[Sandip Ray]] decided to cancel the reboot series because the director and many others were of the view that the same person doing both Feluda and Byomkesh Bakshi won't be accepted by the audience.

The other reason was the new Feluda movie Sandip Ray intended to make under a Mumbai-based production house Eros International, but Abir has a strict contract with Shree Venkatesh Films and Surinder Films. The cancellation of the reboot series Badshahi Angti is now considered a stand-alone reboot film.

It was declared by Sandip Ray instead of continuing the reboot series he will continue the previous Feluda film series after Royal Bengal Rahashya (2011) and Sabyasachi Chakrabarty will return as Feluda and Shaheb Bhattacharya will return as Topshe. There will be two stories in the new film and the film is named Double Feluda.This is a sequel of Royal Bengal Rahashya (2011) and the movie was released in December 2016. The movie will be a tribute to 50 years of Feluda. Sandip Ray said that there will be two stories in the film, Samaddarer Chabi and Golokdham Rahasya.[4][5]
