There have been rumours doing the round that filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is in talks to direct a sequel to his super-hit cult classic film, Jab We Met (2007). Multiple media reports have claimed that there’s no confirmation if the original star cast of Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan will be a part of the sequel too. In June this year, Shahid during a chat session on X hinted that he may soon be collaborating with Imtiaz on a film, which piqued the interest of fans. Needless to say, many of them began speculating if it is Jab We Met 2 that will bring the actor-director duo together after 16 long years.
And now, in an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Imtiaz addresses the rumours of a sequel to Jab We Met and states, “No, it’s not happening.” He further added, “I don’t have a story for Jab We Met 2 yet. I’ve heard of these and read these reports and articles. Nobody asked me before publishing them, so I don’t know what to say. But let’s see what happens.” For the unversed, a fan on X had asked Shahid, “I’ve noticed that you and Imtiaz Ali have been interacting a lot recently! Is there any project in the works? To this, he replied, “Smart Boy”.
Currently, the Rockstar (2011) and Tamasha (2015) director is busy working on his next directorial, Chamkila, an AR Rahman musical, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. Sharing an update on the film, Imtiaz tells us, “It’s coming pretty soon. I hope the audience likes it when they see it. Shooting for Chamkila felt like a very different experience as a filmmaker. It involved a lot of unlearning, which is why I felt very fresh while making it and I’m sure that the audience will also witness that once they watch it.”
