Imtiaz Ali Khan reflected on the potential for a sequel to the beloved romantic comedy, “Jab We Met,” acknowledging the enduring affection fans have for the original film. Despite the clamor for a sequel, Imtiaz remained cautious, suggesting that a sequel should only be pursued if there’s a compelling story to tell. He playfully questioned the need for a sequel when the first film continues to be cherished by audiences.
When asked about the possibility of a sequel, Imtiaz hinted at the slim chances, emphasizing the importance of having a substantial narrative rationale for revisiting the story. He entertained the idea but underscored the need for a fresh and compelling storyline to justify a sequel.
Imtiaz also addressed any concerns about repeating the experience of “Love Aaj Kal,” indicating that the reception of that film wasn’t a deterrent for him. He stressed that the decision to refrain from a sequel to “Jab We Met” wasn’t rooted in fear of repeating past outcomes but rather in the absence of a compelling creative impetus.
While Imtiaz expressed a desire to collaborate with Kareena Kapoor again, he emphasized the importance of finding a project that offers something new and meaningful for both of them. He articulated a preference for projects that are either superior to the original or distinctly different, rather than simply rehashing past successes for the sake of nostalgia or convenience.
