Imtiaz Ali shares possibility of Jab We Met sequel 

In a recent interview with India Today.in, Imtiaz Ali said that he has no intentions of making a sequel to Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Jab We Met

He shared, "When the film was re-released in theaters last year, people really gave a lot of love. I was shooting in Punjab and I would hear that the audiences are dancing in cinema halls etc. For one minute I would have that feeling, I wish I was there. Now it's been 16 years, and I feel that the film is not mine, it's the audience's film and they celebrate it. I look at 'Jab We Met' like an old friend rather than my own film now."

Expressing his deep appreciation for the legacy of Jab We Met, Imtiaz further added, "I wouldn't want to make a sequel of 'Jab We Met' because I feel that it's complete in itself. I haven't thought of ever making a sequel to that film." He also said that if the film gets remade, he would like to cast Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra.
