released in 2007, is directed and written by Imtiaz Ali. The film stars Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan in lead roles.
In recent months, there has been extensive speculation regarding the potential sequel to the beloved Bollywood movie. Fans of the blockbuster have been eagerly anticipating any updates about a sequel. Amid this, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali recently discussed the potential for a sequel.
Despite the enduring popularity of the movie, Ali conveyed his hesitation towards revisiting the story in a sequel, citing his creative vision and reverence for the original. He told India Today, “When the film was re-released in theaters last year, people really gave a lot of love.
I was shooting in Punjab and I would hear that the audiences are dancing in cinema halls etc. For one minute I would have that feeling, I wish I was there. Now it’s been 16 years, and I feel that the film is not mine, it’s the audience’s film and they celebrate it. I look at ‘Jab We Met’ like an old friend rather than my own film now.”
He further conveyed his profound respect for the legacy of ‘Jab We Met’ and its significant resonance with audiences, saying “I wouldn’t want to make a sequel of ‘Jab We Met’ because I feel that it’s complete in itself. I haven’t thought of ever making a sequel to that film.”
