Director Imtiaz Ali Reacts:

Director Imtiaz Ali, who directed the film, has bad news for all the fans. He dismissed any plans about the sequel and said, “Actually, I find it very interesting that Shahid and Kareena met up in IIFA and people are talking to me about Jab We Met. Shahid has said that he thinks that I have moved on, but I think that everybody has moved on. It’s been a long time since Jab We Met.”

“I think we should savour that and we should not spoil it by coming up with a sequel at all,” Ali told PTI.

He further added, “I’m not really planning a movie with Shahid and Kareena per se, but it’s great that they met and they’re both fantastic actors. I obviously had the greatest time working with both of them.”
