Buzz has it that acclaimed filmmaker Zoya Akhtar is planning a sequel to her 2011 blockbuster film, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Featuring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Katrina Kaif in pivotal roles, ZNMD was one of the highest grossing films of 2011 which has attained cult status over the years.
"Zoya feels that the audience would be keen to know what the characters are up to in today’s time. The sequel will retain all the characters and the story will take a 10-year leap," a source has been quoted as saying.
The source further adds, "It is too early to talk about the same. Although the basic premise has been locked, Zoya will start working on the screenplay by end of this year once the final cut of Gully Boy is ready. If all goes as planned, the film would go on floors in the second half of 2019."
Zoya Akhtar is currently busy with her forthcoming directorial, Gully Boy, which has Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead cast. She might begin work on the sequel to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
