We\u2019ve put a lot of stuff out there for people to live with and those characters will never die. You know, it\u2019s there. So yeah, who knows in the future?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Co-stars Steve Stamp (DJ Steves) and Asim Chaudhry (Chabuddy G) also suggested there was the possibility of further exploits for the Kurupt boys, and similarly used Alan Partridge as a reference point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one dies \u2013 spoiler alert,\u201d Stamp said. \u201cSo it\u2019s kind of open to more adventures and it\u2019s just finding the right way to use these characters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess we don\u2019t what to sort of outstay our welcome, and we don\u2019t want to do anything that\u2019s not for the right reasons, but we love playing the characters. It\u2019s the most fun job in the world. So it\u2019s always tempting to dip back into it somehow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think Coogan and Partridge is like \u2013 that\u2019s a great example,\u201d Chaudhry added. \u201cBecause I think what he\u2019s done is that he\u2019s always taken his time with it. It\u2019s not like every year you get a new Partridge project, but when it\u2019s right, and it feels right, he does it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think, for us, that would be the same thing. You just have to treat them with respect. You treat the character with respect and a lot of care and detail, then the fans will see that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think for ourselves, in the same way that Steve Coogan has been able to go off and do more serious roles and write stuff and make things \u2013 he\u2019s got his own production company \u2013 it\u2019s kind of not keeping ourselves too boxed in,\u201d Stamp continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that we\u2019ll always be Chabuddy and Steves, like, we know that,\u201d Chaudhry said. \u201cBut we want to try and do other stuff as well!\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\"><section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\"><strong>People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan is released in UK cinemas on 18th August 2021.
