Farhan Akhtar REACTS to the sequel of 'Dil Chahta Hai': I don’t feel I need to do

For two decades, fans have been waiting for a reunion of their beloved on-screen friends Akash, Sid, and Sameer from 'Dil Chahta Hai', possibly to explore the theme of mid-life crisis. However, filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has clarified that he hasn't considered continuing the storyline of the film.

In an interview with Indian Express, Farhan Akhtar revealed that the story of 'Dil Chahta Hai' never fails to interest him. He even joked that whenever someone brings up the idea of a sequel, he is pleasantly surprised by the enduring affection people have for the film.

Eloborating further, Farhan added that he doesn't see the necessity for a sequel, as the film has already achieved its purpose and conveyed its message effectively. He believes that any further additions to the story would be unnecessary, given its completeness.

Farhan Akhtar explained that films like 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', the first 'Rock On' to a certain extent, and 'Jee Le Zaraa', which is still to be made, have the same kind of emotional space in terms of the stories that are being told.

Meanwhile, Farhan is set to make his return as a director with 'Don 3'. Recently, Excel Entertainment announced that the titular role will be played by Ranveer Singh, and Kiara Advani will play the leading lady.
