Django возвращает JsonResponse и продолжает работу

У меня есть эта функция в Django и я хочу, чтобы при выполнении return JsonResponse(payload), Django продолжал выполнять остальной код, но остальной код не выполняется

def paytes(request): 
        payload ={
                "USERID": code_id,
                "MSISDN": serviceCode,
                "MSGTYPE": type_msg,
                "USERDATA": text,
                "SESSIONID": session_id,
                "MSG": response,
            }
        print('MSG: ',response)
        # headers = {
        #     'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        # }
        # response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload))
        return JsonResponse(payload)
        url = 'https://prod.theteller.net/v1.1/transaction/process'
        transaction_id = random.randint(100000000000, 999999999999)
        amounte = "000000000080"
        amount = str(amounte)
        data = {
            "amount" :amount,
            "processing_code" : "000200",
            "transaction_id" : transaction_id,
            "desc" : "Mobile Money Payment Test",
            "merchant_id" : "TTM-00000727",
            "subscriber_number" : "233244491909",
            "r-switch" : "MTN",
            }
        encoded = base64.b64encode(b'rad5d4a81d6a3453:MTQwODBiMjU3Yzg1ODhhYmIwM2Q5ZmFmYWVlNjJkOWQ=') # change this as well
        headers =  {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Authorization': f'Basic {encoded.decode("utf-8")}',
            'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
        }
        res = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
        print(res.text)
        response_data = res.json()
        status = response_data["status"]
        print(response_data)
        print(status)
        return HttpResponse(res)
 

return_val = {}
return_val['payload'] = payload
return_val['response'] = res
return JsonResponse(return_val)
