Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara 2 Is Happening! Zoya Akhtar Give Major Sequel Update; Promises, "It Will Be Nice"

Zoya Akhtar said the sequel is being developed, but there is no guarantee it will reach the screen as the team seeks the right story.

  • Speaking at the Monsoon Film Festival, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar confirmed that a sequel to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is in development, though she emphasized there is no guaranteed release date for the project.
  • Speculation regarding a second film grew after Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, and Farhan Akhtar reunited for a 2025 Yas Island advertisement, with some viewers mistakenly believing the commercial was a trailer.
  • Recalling the advertisement's reception, Zoya noted that fans initially expressed excitement but later grew frustrated via DMs. "First, they were like, 'YEAH!' But then I got abused," she said.
  • Finding the correct story for the characters is the team's priority rather than rushing production. Zoya stated, "We don't know what will happen and what won't... if we will get to a place where it feels correct."
  • Addressing criticism that her work focuses on affluent characters, Zoya noted she has explored diverse social settings through projects like Gully Boy and Lust Stories. "It still comes up, but it does not bother me now," she said.
